Hi Eric,

Second, it forced the CLI to distinguish between a container and a
filesystem. At first this was accomplished with a trailing slash on the
name, and later introducing the 'ctr' type. Both were confusing to
users for different reasons.
Speaking of confusing names, let's not overload the word "container." Solaris
already has something called Containers to achieve application isolation. A
Container is a group of processes.
Adding "container: a group of storage entities" would create unnecessary
confusion, e.g. "Now create a container" "<typing>zoncfg -z..." "No, the *other*
kind of container."
Thesaurus.com suggests over 50 synonyms for the word 'container.' Hopefully one
of them will be appropriate for ZFS.
