That is a strange best practice, especially given that ZFS allows
and markets the ability of hierarchical datasets. But at least in
this case, this is irrelevant since Chris's setup used datasets
living just under the pool's root. Flatter than that is a private
pool per user, which is not quite the promoted ZFS way ;)

This one immediately came to mind:
"SMF Dependency Graph Generator"
https://java.net/projects/scfdot/pages/Home
https://java.net/projects/scfdot/sources/scfdot-src/show

I am not sure how alive or functional this project is today, and on
OmniOS (or any other non-Oracle distro) in particular. But IMHO it
is the best fit to your question (says so on the label ;) ).
