It's based on memory of what I did in the past for something similar so I can't be 100% certain that it will work for you but it should provide a usable guide. Make sure you have a backup and check that each step does what was expected before going to the next. # Move /usr/src temporarily out of the way umount /usr/src mount -t zfs tank/usr/src /mnt # Make sure the directory /usr/src exists. Create a new empty directory if it doesn't. If it exists and isn't empty delete the contents. # Move existing data /usr/src into the BE mv /mnt/usr/src/* /usr/src # Check that all went well and destroy the old /usr/src dataset umount /mnt zfs destroy tank/usr/src The contents of your original /usr/src should now be included in BE_20210206_175312_CURRENT14 and all new BEs created from it but NOT in any of your other BEs or their descendants. You will need to reinstall it from the corresponding svn or git revision in each of the other BEs if you want to use them. -- Mike Clarke
