zfs discuss - Sep 2007 - Does bug 6602947 concern ZFS more than Gnome?

Re: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6602947

Specifically this part:

[i]Create zpool /testpool/.  Create zfs file system /testpool/testfs.
Right click on /testpool/testfs (filesystem) in nautilus and rename to testfs2.
Do zfs list.  Note that only /testpool/testfs (filesystem) is present.
Do zfs rename /testpool/testfs /testpool/testfsrename.  This will fail saying
the dataset testfs does not exist.[/i]

Right now the bug is assigned to gnome:file-manager so it might not be seen by
the right people?

Actually, it is likely even more general the ZFS or Gnome.  You should not 
rename (eg, via mv(1) or rename(2)) mountpoints in Solaris, otherwise things 
get confused.  In this case, the "zfs rename" is trying to unmount the
renamed mountpoint but is not able to find it.  I thought I filed a bug on 
this a while back, but can''t find it now :-(
