the answer to this appears to be no, and yes. no, there is apparently no way to tell zfs it's ok to shadow a directory, ie to mount a zfs dataset on top of a non-empty directory. and yes, making /usr/local a zfs dataset in the global zone makes it empty in sparse zones (similar to the nfs export problem i guess) and then a zoned dataset can be mounted on top. -frank _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
