[OpenIndiana-discuss] Access to /etc on a pool from another system?

[Reginald Beardsley]

Well, not quite.  Look at my more recent post.  I'm not yet 100% sure of the details, but it revolves around how zfs & be interact. And most likely the namespace collision between rpool & fpool. However, you can see & manipulate things w/ beadm that you can't access w/ zfs.
 
There are doubtless sound reasons for this hidden in the implementation details.

fpool was mounted under /mnt, it just wasn't  the portion of fpool I wanted to access. My observation of df over the past few years is that it doesn't quite grok zfs yet.  I find myself using "zfs list" quite a bit.

In any event, the confluence of comments got me to the solution.  Which is what matters.

So thanks again to all.

Have Fun!
