Is there anyway to do this without losing the data in the file system? I don't think your data is actually gone. When zfs filesystems get handed out to non-global zones, a special "bit" is set on the filesystem, in the form of a zfs property called "zoned". Here is what the man page says: After a dataset is delegated to a non-global zone, the "zoned" property is automatically set. A zoned file system cannot be mounted in the global zone, since the zone administrator might have to set the mount point to an unac- ceptable value. The global administrator can forcibly clear the "zoned" pro- perty, though this should be done with extreme care. The global administrator should verify that all the mount points are acceptable before clearing the property. I hope that helps, -dp -- Daniel Price - Solaris Kernel Engineering - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - blogs.sun.com/dp ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

It'd be nice to not have to reboot the zone, but I don't know of a way to avoid that. > When I logged back into the zone, the mount point was still present, but now > under /, but the files were gone, and they weren't present in the pool on the > global zone, either. You should be able to 'zfs set mountpoint=/whatever poolname/filesystem' in the global zone now to put it where you want. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/ ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
[zones-discuss] Correct procedure to remove a ZFS file system from a non-global zone
I posted this query to the ZFS discussion forum, but got no replies -- perhaps this is more of question about zones than zfs: I followed the procedure to add a ZFS dataset to a non-global, whole-root zone as a delegated dataset as described in the ZFS Admin Guide, page 129. What is the proper way to remove it? I tried the following: >From the global zone: 1) halt the zone 2) use zonecfg to remove the dataset 3) boot the zone When I logged back into the zone, the mount point was still present, but now under /, but the files were gone, and they weren't present in the pool on the global zone, either. Is this the correct procedure to remove a ZFS file system from a non-global zone? Is there anyway to do this without losing the data in the file system? Thanks!
