Technically, I believe OmniOS "owns" /opt/omni. Feel free to define other subdirs as datasets hosted elsewhere (out of tree of rootfs children). My own admin-scripts go under /opt but these are okay as part of rootfs/BE so I don't dataset them ;)

To manage split-off datasets of rootfs (children and shared) consider https://github.com/jimklimov/illumos-splitroot-scripts (shameless plug ;) ) 

This takes into account Firefly failsafe miniroots and PKGSrc datasets too.
