If I'm understanding you correctly, then you can't do that, as the
mountpoint isn't always the same as the name of the filesystem.
For example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] df | grep local
/usr/local (space/usrlocal ):17092419 blocks 17092419 files
/usr/local/foo (space/usrlocal/foo):17092419 blocks 17092419 files
Of course, there's nothing stopping you taking the middle field
(enclosed in parenthesis) from df instead.
Well, I use "df -kl", but commands such as "df" will work just
the same if I use "." or "/" or "/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0" (and all three
are the same.)
Yes, arguably I am cut-past'ing the wrong part of the output..
I suppose what I'm questioning is, whether or not there is any
real danger in zfs converting /usr/local to usr/local and then
trying to do a delete of the filesystem usr/local. I suppose this
could mounted in /opt/local and be not what I wanted...
But in the case where the ZFS mountpoint is the ZFS filesystem
name (plus a leading /), why not allow both names to mean the same?
