I need some advice please. I have this server with a couple of zpools, lets call them
pay_serv
ukb_pool
There are two zones attached to these pools. When I do a zfs list I see this
Now the pay_serv zone is mounted on /pay_serv/ps and the ukb zone on /ukb_pool/ukb. I see these are technically stored in the ukb_pool disks so what I want to do is destroy the pay_serv zpool and free that up for something else.
If I stop the pay_serv zone and then do a "zfs umount /pay_serv" and then a "zfs destroy pay_serv" will that mess up the /pay_serv/ps directory. I am presuming yes and I am scared in doing this as it contains live data and is most definitely not a test server.
Please help!
Thanks....
