You can mount it pretty much anywhere: mkdir /tmp/foo zfs mount -o mountpoint=/tmp/foo ... I'm not sure when the temporary mountpoint option (-o mountpoint=...) came in. If it's not valid syntax then: mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/solaris /tmp/foo -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
