The problem is that by using the -V option, you created a volume, not a file system. That is, you created a raw device. You could then newfs a ufs file system within the volume, but that is almost certainly not what you want. Don't use -V when you create the oracle/prd_data/db1 dataset. Then it will be a mountable file system. You will need to give it a mount point however by setting the mountpoint property, since the default mountpoint won't be what you want.

What I had before was a separate pool for each file system. So does it look I have to go back to what I had before? ----- Original Message ---- From: "cindy.swearin...@sun.com" <cindy.swearin...@sun.com> To: Grant Lowe <gl...@sbcglobal.net> Cc: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 2:20:18 PM Subject: Re: [zfs-discuss] Mounting zfs file systems Grant, If I'm following correctly, you can't mount a ZFS resource outside of the pool from which the resource resides. Is this a UFS directory, here: # mkdir -p /opt/mis/oracle/data/db1 What are you trying to do? Cindy Grant Lowe wrote: Another newbie question: I have a new system with zfs.
