Why do we mount "zroot/ROOT/default" as root instead of simply mounting "zroot" at /? It's a setup for Boot Environment (just google that ;)). If you install sysutils/beadm you can then have in parallel several root fs. It's not mandatory but so useful that's is enabled by default. The boot menu allow you to choose from which root you want to boot. Personnaly I make a new BE after each installworld and/or big port update (I put /usr/local and some of /var inside the BE as well). If something break I have always a working system. But it's really up to you. > This times I manually created the following structure: > #zfs list > NAME ...

Anything wrong with this setup? Nothing wrong.
