I asked about it a few months ago: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=52613
and was told: /_"zfs mount" is called by filesystem/local which is dependent on filesystem/minimal; so it's ok for during startup. However, upon shutdown, there is no "zfs unmount" called by any service. It's svc.startd that calls "umountall" right before the shutdown. So presently, your service cannot stop after zfs unmounts._/ /end quote I didn't find I thought was a clean solution at the time, so its been an open issue to back to... Thanks, Joe
