Looking at existing config-user start method, determining that information
should not be a big deal. The modified error message would then look like:
"Service failed to create home directory ZFS dataset for initial user,
because following parent ZFS datasets are missing (were not created
during installation):
rpool/export
rpool/export/home
To recover from the failure, create parent dataset(s) manually on command
line and clear the service using 'svcadm clear config-user'."
Alternatively, reinstall affected system(s) using ai_manifest(4) specifying
appropriate entries for those ZFS datasets (refer to
/usr/share/auto-install/manifest/default.xml as an example)."
That last paragraph should be reworked to include the commands required.
Otherwise, we will end up in a situation where the home directories are
mounted at /rpool/export/home/<user> rather than /export/home/user.
Suggested text follows:
"To recover from the failure, create parent dataset(s) manually on command
line with:
zfs create -o mountpoint=/export rpool/export
zfs create rpool/export/home
then clear the service using 'svcadm clear config-user'." Alternatively,
reinstall affected system(s) using ai_manifest(4) specifying appropriate
entries for those ZFS datasets (refer to
/usr/share/auto-install/manifest/default.xml as an example)."
It certainly makes sense in 'default' scenario (home dataset in form of
<root_pool>/export/home/<login>), since in this case we know how mountpoints
should look like.
I may still recommend to go with just listing missing parent datasets
in case user provides arbitrary home ZFS dataset in SC profile, as
mountpoints
for parent datasets in such case may not be guessed correctly. I assume
that would be only a minority of cases, as AFAIK that feature hasnot
been used
so far.
