zfs discuss - Jul 2007 - mounting a zfs in ufs namespace

An an application currently stores date in /opt/stuff. The application cant be
changed to expect its data in another path. But it could benefit from some ZFS
capabilities.
  So, ideally I could create a pool and zfs, and then mount that at /opt/stuff.
I know I could presumably make /opt/stuff a softlink, but for other reasons this
is not allowed either. Is such a mount possible?

  Sure, unless you''ve got zfs-root where do you think all your zfs are
  currently mounted on ?-)

  you looking for something like:

# zfs create -o mountpoint=/opt/somewhere tank2/somewhere
# cd /opt/somewhere
# df -h .
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
tank2/somewhere        293G    18K   175G     1%    /opt/somewhere
#
# cd ..
# df -h .
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1d0s3         16G   4.3G    11G    28%    /
#
