The whole point is that we want to "keep things simple" and having only a single mount-point makes things simpler, but I'm curious about any possible fallbacks to using just the pool on the mount point with zero filesystems created underneath. In other words... does "zfs create" actually buy us anything versus just using the pool mounted on the desired location? -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
