I have as well. What we need is some sort of an integrated mount system -- allowing ZFS to do mounts on its own and out-of-order with respect to the rest of the system has certainly caused problems in certain situations. However, I think a better place to discuss this would be the smf-discuss list (since you're proposing to use SMF to address the dependencies) and the zfs-discuss list (as many of the issues were surfaced by ZFS's unique design). The opensolaris-arc list is intended for architectural reviews of proposed projects, and we need one of those first before proceeding here. > So adding yet another layer by delaying lfos mounts will probably solve > this issue, but not the general case.
