OpenIndiana Distribution

This bug looks really nice. Probably should be moved to illumos-gate. I'd like this to get integrated there.

Not sure, but it seems that this mechanism only allows inherited dataset properties for those that are create-time only ... therefore coming from the parent (typically /export/home).. how to set these ?
pass in the options via -o or perhaps via a script?

Also, how would it deal with parent dataset (potentionally in a different pool) which may have the property canmount=off in order to alias, for example, /export/home.

Adding the ability to specify creation properties would be a useful feature, but would probably require an interface change. Maybe this can be the subject of another RFE.

The created dataset will be a child of the dataset currently mounted at the parent of the path specified as the home directory, regardless of which pool it belongs to. Allowing the specification of a dataset name rather than a path is a possibility, but it would have to be automatically converted to a path unless the previous interface changes are introduced.

http://pkgdev.openindiana.org/~trisk/il_263_useradd_homedir/ is the current version, which uses libzfs instead of the unmentionable...
