To mount a dataset from pool1 on any directory, you can do it like this: 1. Make sure that nothing is currently mounted on the directory, and that there are no files in the directory. Ideally it should not even exist. 2. Adjust the specific dataset properties to make it mount in the right place. # zfs set -o mountpoint=/some/directory pool1/foo/bar 3. Tell ZFS that all is OK now to mount that dataset # zfs mount pool1/foo/bar The one thing that you must consider is that sometimes you want to mount pool1/foo on a specific directory /somewhere, but pool1/foo/bar is already mounted below that. You need to unmount it first in this situation. To see where unmounted datasets think they should be mounted, use: # zfs list -o name,mounted,mountpoint -r pool1 -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C.
