Yes, this is possible, but it's annoying because the actual owning zone
isn't stored with the dataset (nor should it be). We'd have to grovel
around every zone's configuration file, which is certainly doable, just
annoying.
Oh God no. That's exactly what I wanted to avoid.
Why wouldn't you want it stored in the dataset, out of interest?
In addition, it's possible (though not recommended) to have a
single dataset in multiple zones.
Ah Ok, that explains why a single string wouldn't cut it
(although it sounds insane to me)!
The only real use case would be a
read-only, unmounted dataset whose snapshots could serve as a clone
source for other delegated datasets.
I'm reading that as 'the only real use case for 1 dataset in multiple zones'
(sorry if I'm misunderstanding you)?
