I have a pool "tank" and "dir1" is the filesystem on that pool. "zfs list"
and "df -h" both shows "tank/dir1" mounted.

*-----------------------------------------------------*
*# zfs list*
*tank                  124K   228G    32K  /tank*
*tank/dir1              31K   228G    31K  /tank/dir1*
*#*
*
*
*# df -h*
*tank                  229G   32K  229G   1% /tank*
*tank/dir1             229G   31K  229G   1% /tank/dir1*
*#*
*-----------------------------------------------------*

After that I created a directory "dir2" with mkdir command under /tank/dir1
and touch couple of files inside dir2

*-------------------*
*# cd /tank/dir1*
*# mkdir dir2*
*# cd dir2*
*# touch file1 file2*
*-------------------*


Now if I try to create zfs filesystem named "dir2/dir3" under "tank/dir1",
it gives the following message. Though I am using -p flag, it only creates
filesystem until tank/dir1/dir2 but not dir3 and also "df -h" does not show
"/tank/dir1/dir2" as mounted.

*# zfs create -p tank/dir1/dir2/dir3*
*cannot mount '/tank/dir1/dir2': directory is not empty*
*#*
*
*
*# zfs list*
*tank                  250K   228G    33K  /tank*
*tank/dir1              63K   228G    32K  /tank/dir1*
*tank/dir1/dir2         31K   228G    31K  /tank/dir1/dir2*
*#*

Is it a normal behaviour?
