Eeeek, the luactivate command ended up taking about *7 hours* to complete.
And I'm not sure it was even successful, output excerpts at the end of this
message.

There's only one nfs filesystem in vfstab which is always mounted, user
home directories are automounted and would be in mnttab if accessed, but
during the lu process no users were on the box.
On the other hand, there are a *lot* of zfs filesytems in mnttab:
# grep zfs /etc/mnttab | wc -l
8145

lucreate on a system with *only* an os root pool is blazing (the magic of
clones). The problem occurs when my data pool (with 6k odd filesystems) is
also there. The live upgrade process is analyzing all 6k of those
filesystems, mounting them all in the alternate root, unmounting them all,
and who knows what else. This is totally wasted effort, those filesystems
have nothing to do with the OS or patching, and I'm really hoping that they
can just be completely ignored.
So, after 7 hours, here is the last bit of output from luactivate. Other
than taking forever and a day, all of the output up to this point seemed
normal. The BE s10u6 is neither the currently active BE nor the one being
made active, but these errors have me concerned something _bad_ might
happen if I reboot :(. Any thoughts?

According to lustatus everything is good, but <shiver>... These boxes have
only been in full production about a month, it would not be good for them
to die during the first scheduled patches.
