zoneadm install Fails With a ZFS Legacy Mount
(6449301)
If a non-global zone is initially congured with a ZFS le system to be mounted with the `add
fs subcommand and species mountpoint=legacy, the subsequent zone installation fails. The
following error message is displayed.
ERROR: No such file or directory:
cannot mount </zones/path/root/usr/local> in non-global zone to install:
the source block device or directory </path/local> cannot be accessed
Workaround: Add access to a ZFS le system after installing the non-global zone.
ZFS and UNIX/POSIX Compliance Issues
ZFS is designed to be a POSIX compliant le system and in most situations, ZFS is POSIX
compliant. However, two edge case conditions exist when ZFS does not meet the POSIX
compliance tests:
1. Updating ZFS les system capacity statistics.
2. Modifying existing data with a 100 percent full le system.

fdisk -E Can Sweep Disk Used by ZFS Without
Warning (6412771)
If you use the fdisk -E command to modify a disk that is used by a ZFS storage pool, the pool
becomes unusable and might cause an I/O failure or system panic.
Workaround:
Do not use the fdisk command to modify a disk that is used by a ZFS storage pool. If you need
to access a disk that is used by a ZFS storage pool, use the format utility. In general, disks that
are in use by le systems should not be modied.
