That dataset (rpool/ROOT) should never have any files in it. It is just a "container" for boot environments. You can see which boot environments exist with: zfs list -r rpool/ROOT If you are running Solaris 11, the boot environment's root dataset will show a mountpoint property value of /. Assuming it is called "solaris" you can mount it with: zfs mount -o mountpoint=/mnt/rpool rpool/ROOT/solaris If the system is running Solaris 11 (and was not updated from Solaris 11 Express), it will have a separate /var dataset. zfs mount -o mountpoint=/mnt/rpool/var rpool/ROOT/solaris/var -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
