Hello, It seems I've made a mistake using ZFS, and now my /usr/local/ is empty. I wanted to create a snapshot of a directory inside of it, so I ran "zfs create tank/usr/local" and "zfs create tank/usr/local/www" as I had seen in the guides I'd been using. That worked, but the filesystems created were empty. As I found out later, doing what I did on Solaris would have created the filesystems but not mounted them, but on FreeBSD they were mounted automatically, and the previous contents hidden. The question now is, how do I get my files back? The system is crippled without /usr/local/ and I can't unmount or destroy it, because it says that the device is busy. Any help would be appreciated.
