Moved zone and data disappeared?
Can't find the data in either pool.

Code:
bash-3.00# zoneadm -z PPSMzone1 move /zpool/ppsmzone1
cannot create ZFS dataset zpool/ppsmzone1: dataset already exists

The original zone pool upon which the zone first resided has not changed at all in size; hopefully that means the data is still there?

The pool appears to have data still there....but I can't view it.

Looks like it's mounted on the wrong spot somehow. Thoughts on how to proceed? I want it mounted on /zpool and moved there.

Code:
bash-3.00# df -h /zpool/PPSMzone1

Can you boot the zone after its zonepath was moved?

If you can boot the zone, unmount its dataset, and rename it to something else, and then mount the original dataset. It may work. Problem cause is this error:

cannot create ZFS dataset zpool/ppsmzone1: dataset already exists
