Full Discussion: Delay mounting of home directory?
Operating Systems Solaris Delay mounting of home directory? Post 303011774 by Peasant on Tuesday 23rd of January 2018 12:18:20 PM

Can you share logs regrading the sentence 'Solaris gets confused' ?
Something must be written in logs, feel free to paste them here if possible.

As for Linux zfs i have no experience, but the common denominator zpool and zfs version should be able to coexist across various systems if configured properly.

Since you are able to use the filesystem on both operating system, we shall assume it is.

Lets say you have a situation :

/home/user -> this is a regular part of rpool on solaris
/home/user -> this is a regular part of root volume group on linux

A third disk is introduced and zpool is created in <input operating system on which you have created the zpool>.

For the sake of argument the mountpoint for that zpool is mounted on /personal_files and it has directory structure behind (Documents, vbox etc.)
The mountpoint is the same on both operating systems.

A soft link is created in linux /home/user pointing to /personal_files/Documents
A soft link is created in Solaris /home/user pointing to /personal_files/Documents

Is the above correct ?
In that case, one should not have any issues regarding mounting the home directory, regardless of soft links pointing to data disk.
No ?
Please provide the exact layout and configuration details as possible.
Including commands used for creation of zpool (operating system where it was initially created and version and zfs properties).

Regards
Peasant.

zdb

zdb(1M) 						  System Administration Commands						   zdb(1M)

NAME

       zdb - ZFS debugger

SYNOPSIS

       zdb pool

DESCRIPTION

       The  zdb command is used by support engineers to diagnose failures and gather statistics. Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on
       disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer.

       If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on  the  pool  and  associated  datasets,	and  report  any  problems
       detected.

       Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0    The pool is consistent.

       1    An error was detected.

       2    Invalid command line options were specified.
