zone1 is a simple (native) fileserver, serving up a zfs filesystem (let's
call it "TheFiles") mounted via lofs.

zone2 is an LX container for running backup software, accessing the same
filesystem via lofs in read-only mode.

(It's quite possible that last part is very inadvisable, known to be a Bad
Idea, etc. This was a quick proof-of-concept, was going to switch the
backup server to access a snapshot...)

Anyway, attempting to stop zone1 just halted and never timed out. State is
now "down".
 dmesg shows repeated failures of zoneadmd failing:

"unable to unmount '/zones/UUDI/root/mnt/TheFiles', retrying in 2 seconds...
..."unmount of '/zones/UUDI/root/mnt/TheFiles' failed
...unable to unmount file systems in zone
...unable to destroy zone

Note that while the process on the backup zone appeared to hiccup a bit,
it's resumed just fine.

So 1: Is this somewhat expected behavior, undefined, or a surprise?
2: Any recommendations on attempts to get zone back to a bootable "stopped"
state? Would prefer to not have to reboot host.
