If you look at callers of remove_mountpoint() in libzfs, you'll see that it does remove the mountpoint, but only for inherited or default directories. We have no way to know for sure whether the mountpoint was originally created by ZFS or not, so we can only guess based on the current mountpoint.

I'm looking to use ZFS to store about 6-10 live virtual machine images (served via VMWare Server on Linux) and network file storage for ~50 Windows clients. I'll probably start at about 1TB of storage and want to be able to scale to at least 4TB. Cost and reliability are my two greatest concerns.

First, does RaidZ support disks of multiple sizes, or must each RaidZ set consist of equal sized disks? Each RAID-Z set must be constructed from equal-sized storage. While it's possible to mix disks of different sizes, either you lose the capacity of the larger disks, or you have to partition
