I am glad to hear that the Linux automounter has moved forward since my experience with it a couple of years ago and indirect maps were documented but also documented not to actually work. :-) I don't think that this discussion is off-topic. Filesystems are so easy to create with ZFS that it has become popular to create per-user filesystems. It would be useful if the various automounter incantations to make everything work would appear in a ZFS-related Wiki somewhere. This can be an embarrassing situtation for the system administrator who thinks that everything is working fine due to testing with Solaris 10 clients. So he swiches all the home directories to ZFS per-user filesystems overnight. Imagine the frustration and embarrassment when that poor system administrator returns the next day and finds that many users can not access their home directories!
