Indeed. Having /var itself as a separate dataset is not worthwhile and serves only to complicate BE management (since you want to pair /var/svc with /, no?). But for specific sub-directories of /var using common datasets can be very useful. BTW, it's been useful to have separate /var/adm/messages too: it helps track which BE was last booted :) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
