I'm doing exactly what the following suggested, which is sort of unreasonable.
Can we treat /opt the same way as /export/home?

Thanks anyway,

To make sure of that we need to see if /opt is actually mounted and if you've ended up installing things into the /opt mount point directory when the BE boots it will fail to mount /opt on rpool/ROOT/<be_name>/opt and when a new BE is created it will have that same issue with /opt. Looking at the ZFS output you can see that the mount points for /opt in several BE's have more than one / in front of them which tends to indicate that there's been issues with mounting those datasets. To clean this issue up you'll need to move everything out of /opt zfs mount the rpool/ROOT/<be_name>/opt dataset and copy in what was moved out of /opt. Make sure that /opt is empty before attempting to mount the dataset.
