Default Mount Point for Storage Pools Not Empty

When a pool is created, the default mount point for the top-level file system is /pool-name. If this directory exists and contains data, an error occurs.

To create a pool with a different default mount point, use the zpool create -m mountpoint command. For example:

$ zpool create system1 c1t0d0
default mountpoint '/system1' exists and is not empty
use '-m' option to provide a different default
$ zpool create -m /export/zfs system1 c1t0d0

This command creates the new pool system1 and the system1 file system with a mount point of /export/zfs.
