i was wondering if you have a zfs filesystem that mounts in a subdir

I have not encountered that problem here and I do have a multilevel mount
heirarchy so I assume that ZFS orders the mounting intelligently.
well, the thing is, if the two filesystems are in different pools (let
me repeat the example):
Then weird things happen I think. You run into the same problems if you
want to mix ZFS and non-ZFS filesystems in a mount hierarchy. You end
up having to set the mountpoint property so the mounts don't happen at
boot and then write a service to mount all the relevant things in order.
Or set them all to legacy, and put them in /etc/vfstab.
That's what I do. I have a directory on ZFS that holds ISO images, and a
peer directory that contains mountpoints for loopback mounts of all
those ISO's.
I set the ZFS to legacy, and then in /etc/vfstab I put the FS containing
the ISO files before I list all the ISO's to be mounted.
