[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI will not boot to login after exporting a drive

[Dylan Distasio]

Jim-

Thanks for the detailed reply, you nailed it with the zfs mount -a issue,
but I am not sure how to resolve it.

I first get a message of:
Cannot mount 'poolname/folder' directory is not empty
svc:/system/filesystem/local:default: WARNING: /usr/sbin zfs mount -a
failed: exit status 1

However, when I log in as single user and check the poolname/folder
directory, it is indeed not empty.  It's still got my array's subfolders in
it.

As a result, I am at a loss as to how to resolve this issue.  Apologies if
this is OI/Solaris 101, but my knowledge of the boot process is extremely
limited.  I'm hoping to use this as a learning experience.

Thanks again,
Dylan
