Folks,

Not sure if any of this is possible, but thought I would ask. This is all part 
of simplifying my 2 Indiana zfsboot environments.

I am wondering if there is a way to set the mountpoint of a zfs and not have it 
immediately actioned. I want this so I can set the mountpoint of my alternate 
zfs boot (zpl_slim/root2) to "/" (even though I currently have an active rootfs 
of zpl_slim/root ) and then have the grub bootfs parameter control booting from 
one root or the other. 

Are the zfs mountpoints stored in zpool.chache or ondisk or both? I was 
wondering if i can tweak zpool.cache or use zdb to achieve this. 

Essentially this is so the zfs filesystems under zpl_slim/root get mounted 
correctly through inheritance. Currently I achieve booting from altroot by 
having the roots set as legacy and referenced in the vfstab. But what this 
means is the underlying zfs filesystems ( root2/opt, root2/usr, etc) dont get 
mounted as they inherit legacy mode.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
