When I try to rename a mounted dataset with open files, I get the following error :

[carenath] /home/tzim# zfs rename unsafe/tmp unsafe/temp
cannot unmount '/tmp': Device busy

The mountpoint property is set locally :

[carenath] /home/tzim# zfs get mountpoint unsafe/tmp
NAME        PROPERTY    VALUE       SOURCE
unsafe/tmp  mountpoint  /tmp        local


zfs(1M) says :

Renamed file systems can inherit new mount points, in which case they are unmounted and remounted at the new mount point.


But here, the mountpoint should not change. So the file system does not need to be remounted ...

Either I don't understand something, or there's an "error" in the man, or a bug in zfs rename.

It could be great if zfs allowed "live" renaming of mounted filesystem, as It can avoid headaches...

Thanks
