I jumpstarted my machine with sNV b106, and installed with ZFS root/boot. It left me at a shell prompt in the JumpStart environment, with my ZFS root on /a.
I wanted to try out some things that I planned on scripting for the JumpStart to run, one of these waas creating a new ZFS pool from the remaining disks. I looked at the zpool create manpage, and saw this it had a -R <altroot> option, and the exact same thing had just worked for me with 'dladm aggr-create' so I thought I'd give that a try. If the machine had been booted normally, my ZFS root would have been /, and a 'zpool create zdata0 ...' would have defaulted to mounting the new pool as /zdata0 right next to my ZFS root pool /zroot0. So I expected 'zpool create -R /a zdata0 ...' to set the default mountpoint for the pool to /zdata0 with a temporary altroot=/a. I gave it a try, and while it created the pool it failed to mount it at all. It reported that /a wasn't empty. 'zpool list', and 'zpool get all' show the altroot=/a. But 'zfs get all zdata0' shows the mountpoint=/a also, not the default of /zdata0. Am I expecting the wrong thing here? or is this a bug? -Kyle _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
