As Ian says, you can't trail the zoned tank dataset off the zoneroot. My zones are created off rpool/zones. My layout looks like this: rpool/zones/zone1 6.44G 41.8G 23K /zones/zone1 rpool/zones/zone1/tank 6.41G 41.8G 21K none rpool/zones/zone1/tank/home 104K 41.8G 104K /export/home rpool/zones/zone1/tank/logs 56.5K 41.8G 56.5K /var/icg/logs rpool/zones/zone1/tank/postgresql 6.41G 41.8G 6.41G /var/postgresql rpool/zones/zone1/tank/scratch 21K 41.8G 21K /export/scratch rpool/zones/zone1/zroot 27.6M 41.8G 27.6M I create rpool/zones/zone1/tank when I build the zone, and then delegate to the zone, so the zone admin (which happens to be Puppet, but regardless) can create filesystems inside the zone. benr wrote about it here: http://www.cuddletech.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=755 -- bda cyberpunk is dead. long live cyberpunk. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
