zfs discuss - Sep 2007 - zfs mount points (all-or-nothing)

Hello all,
 There is a way to configure the zpool to "legacy_mount", and have all
filesystems in that pool mounted automatically?
 I will try explain better:
 - Imagine that i have a zfs pool with "1000" filesystems. 
 - I want to "control" the mount/unmount of that pool, so, i did
configure the zpool to legacy_mount.
 - But i don''t want to have to mount the other "1000"
filessytems...so, when i issue a "mount -F zfs mypool", all the
filesystems would be mounted too (i think the mount property is per-filesystem).
 Sorry if that is a "dummy" question, but the all-or-nothing
configuration that i "think" is the solution, is not what i really
need.
 Thanks for your time!

Any ideas on this?
Or i will need to update the vfstab file?

I don''t quite follow what behavior you are looking for.  When you say
you
want to control the mount/unmount of the pool, do you mean just the 
"poolname" filesystem, or all filesystems in the pool?

You may be looking for "zfs set canmount=off poolname".  This will
cause the
"poolname" (top-most) filesystem to not be mounted, but all
filesystems below
it will be mounted as usual.
