[OpenIndiana-discuss] rpool/ROOT where mounted?

[Volker A. Brandt]

Hi Harry!

Typically, you will need to send the entire rpool.  That's what the
"zfs send -R" command is for.  It replicates everything, including all
properties you need to make the target system bootable.

If you don't need a bootable copy, there's really no point in copying
the entire OS over.  If you *really* still want to do that, the easiest
way to find the dataset of the currently active BE is to do

  "cd / ; df -h ."

That will show you where the current root is mounted from.

What exactly are you trying to do?
