I.e. if your zfs filesystem layout looked like zfs-pool/tank/tempfs, then you could simply do "zfs rename zfs-pool/tank/tempfs zfs-pool/tempfs" and then would be free to remove zfs-pool/tank. Alas this rename semantics breaks down when you can no longer rename sub-filesystem upward. I don't think ZFS would allow you to promote inner filesystem to a pool which is what you seem to want. --Artem _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
