this reminded me of something I've been wanting to ask for some time ... sorry for highjacking a thread ;-). in the past, I've sometimes done things like: - have some stuff in /path/to/storage (ufs) - decided that that stuff might just as well live on/in zfs - "zfs creat"ed /path/to/storage.copy (with implicit creation of the mountpoint), copied data from storage to storage.copy - mv /path/to/storage to /path/to/storage.old - zfs set mountpoint=/path/to/storage <volname> when this whole dance is done, I'm left with an empty directory /path/to/storage.copy; since zfs created this directory in the first place, is it an unreasonable expectation that zfs remove it as well?
