Hello, I decided to install FreeBSD on ZFS root. In almost all guides i saw the following recommendation: zpool create -o altroot=/mnt zroot /dev/${device} zfs create zroot/var zfs create ... ... zfs set mountpoint=legacy zroot zfs set mountpoint=/var zroot/var zfs set mountpount=... ... reboot So we're setting mountpoins for all first-level childs of zroot. Why just don't use the following simpler setup, when mountpoint set only once: zpool create -o altroot=/mnt zroot /dev${device} zfs set mountpoint=/ zroot zfs create zroot/var zfs create ... ... reboot I've tested both ways, the second also works perfectly but requires less commands to enter. Can anybody explain me why I can't see recommendations to set mountpoint=/ for zroot instead of mountpoint=legacy?
