Because the zfs dataset mountpoint may not be the same as the zfs pool name. This makes things a bit complicated for the initial request. Personally, I haven't played with datasets where the mountpoint is different. If you have a zpool tank mounted on /tank and /tank/homedirs with mountpoint=/export/home, do you create the next dataset /tank/homedirs/carson, or /export/home/carson ? And does the mountpoint get inherited in the obvious (vs. the simple vs. not at all) way? I don't know. Also $PWD has a leading / in this example. --Joe _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
