I made a huge (apparently) error by backing up (zfs send | zfs recv) my “zones” pool to tank/backups/zones.
Why is this a problem? Now when I boot up smartos, the `system/filesystem/local` service fails because `zfs mount -a` fails, because both zones and tank/backups/zones want to mount the zones’ core directories to the same mountpoint. Boot time output captured from serial console pasted at bottom of this email. (Also available at http://hastebin.com/urahacowev.sql ) Because this fails, I *THINK* that smartos then does not read from zones/usbkey which means I’ve got no discernible root password (and the platform image root pw does not work, either). I am able to boot into noinstall/recovery mode. I am going to write a script to remove the hardcoded mount points from all 15 of the datasets in question and see if this improves, but my questions are the following: 1. Is there an easier way to do this? * altroot seems inapplicable since I cannot set the property except at create or import time. 2. How should I be backing up my ‘zones’ pool, because I am obviously doing it wrong 3. Is it in fact the case that the system is unusable because when svc:system/filesystem/local fails that zones/usbkey is not being read from?
