[geeks] ZFS questions

[Joshua Boyd]

You didn't say what actually happens when you tried

zfs create export/home

I don't have a current Solaris 10 machine running to test against, and 
if I did I probably wouldn't want to mess with my home directory, so I'm 
trying to shoot possible things from memory.

First, perhaps don't make the new disk export like that in case .B  
Instead do something like:

zpool create newtank c1t1d0
zfs create newtank/home

zfs set mountpoint=/export/home newtank/home

Alternatively, I wonder if the problem has something to with the 
automounter.
