It's not mounted correctly, though. Note that, in the mount output, there is no "storage/media on /storage/media".
Do this: sudo zfs umount storage/media/anime sudo zfs umount storage/media/comedy sudo zfs umount storage/media/comics sudo zfs umount storage/media/documentaries sudo zfs umount storage/media/ebooks sudo zfs umount storage/media/movies sudo zfs umount storage/media/mp3 sudo zfs umount storage/media/musicfilms sudo zfs umount storage/media/spoken-word This will leave storage mounted at /storage. Then, `ls /storage/media` and you'll see it is NOT empty, but has (hopefully empty) directories for those mountpoints. Delete them: sudo rmdir /storage/media/anime sudo rmdir /storage/media/comedy sudo rmdir /storage/media/comics sudo rmdir /storage/media/documentaries sudo rmdir /storage/media/ebooks sudo rmdir /storage/media/movies sudo rmdir /storage/media/mp3 sudo rmdir /storage/media/musicfilms sudo rmdir /storage/media/spoken-word At that point, /storage/media should be empty. Now, mount storage/media: sudo zfs mount storage/media Assuming that all works, mount the remainder of the filesystems again: sudo zfs mount -a -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1614859 Title: zfsutils-linux fails to configure "directory not empty" Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 zfsutils-linux: Installed: 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu12 After apt-get upgrade, zfsutils-linux fails to configure. # systemctl status zfs-mount.service Aug 19 09:39:56 MediaServer systemd[1]: Starting Mount ZFS filesystems...
