File System Mounts and Updating

It is not supported to mount a file system in a way that hides any file, symbolic link, or directory that is part of the zone's system image as described in the pkg(5) man page. For example, if there are no packages installed that deliver content into /usr/local, it is permissible to mount a file system at /usr/local. However, if any package, including legacy SVR4 packages, delivers a file, directory, or symbolic link into a path that begins with /usr/local, it is not supported to mount a file system at /usr/local. It is supported to temporarily mount a file system at /mnt.

Due to the order in which file systems are mounted in a zone, it is not possible to have an fs resource mount a file system at /export/filesys if /export comes from the zone's rpool/export dataset or another delegated dataset.
