I experienced the same behaviour with Apache jails and PHP, mostly PHP running with 100% CPU inside the jail. So you cannot "share" the dataset between to jails without the risk of hangs - its a problem inside the VFS. You should set the mountpoint via "zfs set" inside your jail. But you can do this only for one jail. Regards Michaelhome | help
