[zfs-discuss] ZFS snapshots ignore everything in /export/....

2009-06-09 Thread Krenz von Leiberman
When I take a snapshot of my rpool, (of which /export/... is a part of), ZFS ignores all the data in it and doesn't take any snapshots... How do I make it include /export in my snapshots? BTW, I'm running on Solaris 10 Update 6 (Or whatever is the first update to allow for root pools...)
