> After a pool is created, zfs got mounted? yes, when you create a pool, the zfs filesystem within it is mounted. (Each pool will have a top level filesystem created for it when the pool is created, then you can use that and also create as many new filesystems within it as you like)

That's the file that gets read at boot > How to I tell the system not to mount certain zfs at boot? you can set the 'canmount' property to 'off' for whatever filesystem you do not want mounted: Check out the zfs man pages for more filesystem properties stuff: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2240/6n4htdnpr?a=view " canmount=on | off If this property is set to ?off?, the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by ?zfs mount -a?. This is similar to setting the ?mountpoint? property to ?none?, except that the dataset still has a normal ?mountpoint? property which can be inherited. This allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One use case is to have two logically separate datasets have the same mountpoint, so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but may have different inherited characteristics. The default value is ?on?. This property is not inherited.
