1. sorry for the delay in replying. 2. the reason that I was originally using zfs destroy was that beadm destroy failed.
3. Current state of affairs: ~# beadm list BE Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created -- ------ ---------- ----- ------ ------- b101b - - 6.14G static 2008-11-14 09:17 b103pre NR / 16777216.03T static 2008-12-07 11:25 b103pre-2 - - 6.65M static 2008-12-08 13:22 ~# beadm create test ~# beadm list BE Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created -- ------ ---------- ----- ------ ------- b101b - - 6.14G static 2008-11-14 09:17 b103pre NR / 16777216.03T static 2008-12-07 11:25 b103pre-2 - - 6.65M static 2008-12-08 13:22 test - - 112.0K static 2008-12-18 09:59 ~# beadm activate test Unable to activate test.

B. if I zfs set mountpoint=, mount, unmount re-set mountpoint=, then beadm activate can usually be made to work. this is one reason I wanted to lighten the BE load cause even with a script to do the work, Im pretty tired of it, every update. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
