I would like to have a machine's home directories located on a ZFS 
partition...... On every sane UNIX I've used there is a /etc/fstab file that 
can control this. I've Googled for a few hours digging up this mess of 
/etc/auto_home and /etc/auto_master that not only makes no sense but looks like 
it has to be modified every time a new user is added. Reading through the 
automount man page also makes no logical sense, I think the person who wrote it 
got paid a bonus every time they used the word "zone".  

I tried this:
 # zfs set mountpoint=/export/home ion/home

but get:
cannot mount '/export/home': directory is not empty
property may be set but unable to remount filesystem

Ironically the error message is wrong as I'm not mounting /export/home, I'm 
attempting to unmount it.  I also think the whole /export/home/ is stupid but I 
get that it's a limitation of Solaris's automouter. Wouldn't it make more sense 
for Nexenta to get rid of this crap and use a more standard UNIX method like a 
/etc/fstab file?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Michael Bushey
