Delegated datasets are pretty great in most ways, but an unfortunate aspect of the current implementation is the name of the dataset visible within the zone. For example:
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT zones 1.26T 2.42T 768K /zones zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05 78.2G 242G 3.03G /zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05 zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data 75.6G 242G 25K /zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data/home 13.0M 242G 26K /home zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data/home/jclulow 12.9M 242G 12.9M /home/jclulow zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data/ws 74.6G 242G 222M /ws zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data/ws/_jmc2 68.0G 242G 68.0G /ws/_jmc2 zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data/ws/plat 6.35G 242G 6.35G /ws/plat zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05/data/www 1.02G 242G 1.02G /var/www
Here, the delegated dataset (data
) is a child of the zone dataset (zones/66fe547a-a1b5-6e20-def1-d276ea585d05
) in the global zone, as managed by vmadm
. The first two components of this dataset name, i.e. the name of the zone dataset, are generally irrelevant to the in-zone consumer of the dataset; in fact, they make it kind of a pain to inspect visually and to use.
It would be much better if we could, at least in some circumstances, provide the name of the first delegated component (i.e. data
, above) and provide a virtualised view of the delegated dataset within the zone. For example, the above should really look like this:
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT data 75.6G 242G 25K /data data/home 13.0M 242G 26K /home data/home/jclulow 12.9M 242G 12.9M /home/jclulow data/ws 74.6G 242G 222M /ws data/ws/_jmc2 68.0G 242G 68.0G /ws/_jmc2 data/ws/plat 6.35G 242G 6.35G /ws/plat data/www 1.02G 242G 1.02G /var/www
