zfs discuss - Feb 2010 - mountpoint or dataset is busy

Hi, I have root HOMEDIR pointing to  [b]/root[/b] , and zfs filesystem created -
[b]rpool/roothome -> /root[/b]; but while loading the system, I`m seeing that
[b]cannot mount `rpool/roothome`: mountpoint or dataset is busy[/b].

I`f i`ll set the mountpoint to something else, like /export/home/root - mounting
works like a charm...

what could be the issue?

If there is a process owned by root, then the mountpoint will be busy
because /root is root''s home directory.

I''m sure it is either the chicken or the egg which is the root cause
