Once a filesystem is zoned, it is only visible to the zone. But it seems the zone itself cannot exist in its own zfs filesystem. >> o Is there any problem with making a pool the mountpoint of a zone? >> > > What exactly do you want to do (and why)? Create a pool per zone? What I hoped to do, the way I thought this worked, is that you can create a zsf file system, with a size limit, make it the mountpoint of a zone, then the zone has all control to do what it wishes. So, I made the dataset equal to the mountpoint. This was actually allowed and I was able to install and boot the zone. When I rebooted the system, however, it came up in single user mode complaining that the (now) zoned zfs filesystem had files in it. The server is a long ways from home so I don't want to repeat that. OK, thanks everyone, I think I understand now that I can give a zone a zfs filesystem in a way similar to other file system resources, and that I can mount a zone into a zfs file system created in the global zone.
