Hi,
I've already sent a few posts around this issue, but haven't quite got the 
answer - so I'll try to clarify my question :)

Since I have upgraded from 2008.11 to 2009.06 a new BE has been created. On 
ZFS, that corresponds to two file systems, both (strangely) mounted on /. The 
old BE corresponds to a file system of 7G, the new one to a fs of 3G. As I fall 
short of space and do not need the old 2008.11 any more, I would like to work 
out how to delete it. I know I should do beadm destroy <name>. But before I do 
that I would like to understand what I am erasing in those 7G (makes sense, 
doesn't it ?). 

In particular, I'd like to:
- understand what's in that old 7G ?
- understand why the new environment only takes 3G
- possibly mount the old 7G to check what's inside ? I'm surprised it is said 
to be mounted on /
- understand what beadm destroy actually destroys !

Thanks very much !
Axelle
