Frank; Firstly, thanks very much for the pointers!
Is there a way to set cachefile=none in a zpool that has already been created? I also googled the -u/-U option and thanks very much for the tip! Two questions; Firstly, can I create another filesystem (dataset) within the webpool e.g. say webpool/webdata and assigned it as a dataset to the webzone? Would that be considered a bad practice as it is a form cascading mount?
