Summary

It's not a perfect, but it's enough for 99% use cases.

From Bugzilla:

Hi,

When calling the script target with the ZFSBOOT_DISKS variable set, the zfsboot target will be run. This logic should also be used for the umount target, choosing 'zfs umount -a' to be run.

The use case when installing multiuser is not that uncommon and is something that needs to continue working. One of two things needs to happen here before being committed:
(a) it needs to use only those ZFS filesystems previously mounted
(b) the zfsboot script should use the ZFS support in partedit, which already works with umount

in multiuser mode, this command will fail, because you can't umount / while your CWD is / or a subdirectory of it.

When bsdinstall sees an error, it will prompt the user to start the entire install over again.

Wouldn't 'zfs unmount $BSDINSTALL_CHROOT' work here? ($BSDINSTALL_CHROOT = /mnt)

It would unmount only the file systems mounted under the chroot and their descendants.

I can do (a), but I'm not able to work on (b).

If this were to return an error, wouldn't it cause bsdinstall to prompt the user to start the installation over again?

Also, if there is somehow a mountpoint that will not unmount because it is in use (say, the shell on console #4 was in that directory), this will loop forever.
