This means, if you add new storage for /export, you need to make sure the original is not present (rpool/export dataset). Also, make sure you are not creating cross mounts from different pools/datasets. And finally, a small nit - if you create /export/home/username tree, your dataset tree should look like /export/home/username, and this means, you only need to set mountpoint for/export, rest will follow the hierarchy. This can help to avoid cross mounts and populated mount points… rgds, toomas ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[...] exactly what I did, and I did not precreate anything. Not sure where that came from. I just ran the zfs create commands and it all mounted as expected And once again following this mornings boot up of host and then vm in question... >> zfs create -omountpoint=/exportp0/export >> zfs create -omountpoint=/export/home p0/export/home >> zfs create -omountpoint=/export/home/USER p0/export/home/USER It fails to mount those filesystems and drops into a console login on reboot. I needed a reboot for host OS due to certain updates that apparently need a reboot. And then booting the oi vm I login as root and run: zfs mount p0/export zfs mount p0/export/home zfs mount p0/export/home/reader And they all mount fine. But yet I'm stuck with a console to work in ... pretty sure if I reboot the vm the same thing will happen. It seem the OS doesn't mount them from the bottom up or something What is causing the failure? Attempting to `startx' from console does not work at first but finally produces a very primitive X desktop, that near as I can tell is less usable for work than the OI console (which is saying something) How can I go into X from the console login.. Logging out does nothing. Apparently the only recourse is to reboot the vm again. Doing that now: First thing, I see `unable to read pool p0' as the shutdown starts to happen. But, glory be.

The commands zfs create -omountpoint=/exportp0/export zfs create -omountpoint=/export/home p0/export/home zfs create -omountpoint=/export/home/USER p0/export/home/USER Should be sufficient to make the /export/home/USER so you should not pre create the involved folders, zfs take care of that it self.
