Is mounting nested datasets with nullfs possible in iocage?

[Henning Kessler]

Hello,

Is it somehow possible to mount a dataset in iocage via nullfs so that the nested datasets will be mounted correctly as well? Or do I have to mount every single dataset by itself?

I did a couple of tests but I only can see the nested datasets in parent dataset as empty folders...

Regards

mount is, to my understanding, limited to the same filesystem. each dataset acts as it's own filesystem. you pretty much either mount them all, or reduce the number of nested datasets. you can see this same thing with nfs shares and simpler systems, like tftp, that cannot traverse filesystem boundaries.
