Adding and removing ZFS filesystems in Zones
I have a Solaris 10 container that is running on ZFS filesystems being presented from the Global Zone.
I have a filesystem presented to the Local zone and my user wants me to remove it.
It there any way I can remove this while the zone is running?
I tried unmounting it from the local zone and the global zone, all say device is busy. And I know I have to go into zonecfg and get it out of there too..
Any suggestions to remove this filesystem from a running zone?

NAME
zcons - Zone console device driver
DESCRIPTION
The zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with which applica-
tions in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which receives I/O from the master side. The slave side is available in the global
zones.
Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone, the zcons slave side is fronted
by /dev/console and other console-related symbolic links, which are used by applications that expect to write to the system console.
The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases.
FILES
/dev/zcons/<zonename>/masterconsole
Global zone master side console for zone <zonename>.
/dev/zcons/<zonename>/slaveconsole
Global zone slave side console for zone <zonename>.
/dev/zconsole
Non-global zone console (slave side).
