I was doing some disaster recovery testing with ZFS, where I did a mass backup of a family of ZFS filesystems using snapshots, destroyed them, and then did a mass restore from the backups. The ZFS filesystems I was testing with had only one parent in the ZFS namespace; and the backup and restore went well until it came time to mount the restored ZFS filesystems.
Because I had destroyed everything but the zpool, there was no mountpoint set for the restored parent ZFS filesystem or for its children. They were all restored, but unmounted. I set the mountpoint property for the parent ZFS filesystem, and all its children mounted instantly as I expected; but the parent failed to mount, because ZFS had created the mountpoints for the children before mounting the parent. I had to unmount the children manually, delete their mountpoints, mount the parent manually, and then mount the children manually. Is it supposed to work that way?
