I have not tested that, but the notion of a jail is irrelevant.  It just
happened to be that *particular* use case.

lets say I want any nullfs or unionfs (etc...) mount that depends on a
zfs mount with no jails. [i.e. multiple copies of a ports tree]

Though I do see your point.

So whats the solution if there are no jails ?
