https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D221064 --- Comment #4 from Andriy Gapon <avg@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Allan Jude from comment #3) I am not sure that that policy has anything to do with OpenZFS. Each operating system handles that in its own way. For example, as far as I know, in illumos you can not mount any filesystem = over any non-empty directory. In FreeBSD we allow mounts anywhere, including root. And there is nothing ZFS specific about that. I personally think that allowing to mount over / is more dangerous than use= ful. But people always find creative uses for every feature and misfeature, so I think that a wider discussion about such a fundamental decision will be required. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
