I''ve copied an old home directory from an install of OS 134 to the data pool on my OI install. Opensolaris apparently had wine installed as I now have a link to / in my data pool. I''ve tried everything I can think of to remove this link with one exception. I have not tried mounting the pool on a different OS yet, I''m trying to avoid that. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Ulink and rm error out as root. Regards

Is it permission denied, I/O error, or what? Gregg

In zfs you cannot create a link to a directory; so does the link look like? Casper

Ulink and rm error out as root.This doesn''t sound like a link to me. Can you send us the output? ls -ld /path/to/the_link zfs list | grep whatever_is_relevant zfs get mountpoint the_zfs_filesystem

Arrgh. Surprising how a night''s sleep lets you resolve some issues :)
