Show child filesystems...

What exactly does this do?

I had it unchecked and see all my filesystems on my desktop - non are top-level. I see none in the sidebar.

If I check the option nothing changes. I tried restarting Finder, nothing happened.

Does it require a reboot or remount of the pool?

I'm not really bothered about things appearing on the desktop, just curious. All the mounts do appear in their correct places otherwise.

My current desktop view (with the box unchecked, and that way since I booted) shows the following:

You can see the mountpoints set, and that they all appear on the desktop.

Which OS?

Try the reboot.

Then with Finder, Command-Shift-C and drag a volume to the sidebar, drop on the relevant header.

Checking the box then rebooting gets them into the sidebar automatically.

EIther way they appear on the desktop. I'm not that bothered either way. Given that they're mounted outside of /Volumes/ and with specific places, I wouldn't really expect them on the desktop.

Interestingly, within Finder Prefs, if I uncheck and recheck the Hard Disks option for what should appear int he sidebar they all disappear, and only Backups and iLife reappear. Odd that those two would remain. Even System, my SSD (non-ZFS) HD has vanished. Restarting Finder restored the whole list.

Unchecking Hard disks on the desktop removes all disks (ZFS and actual) and they all appear back and checked again.

I can't reproduce that bug.

Please, which OS?

Is your startup volume internal, or external? If external, which bus?

With my FileVault 2-protected startup volume 'OS' running OS X 10.8.2 it's not necessary to restart Finder. Solid state hybrid drive internal to a MacBookPro5,2. The volume appears under DEVICES whenever I check (tick)

10.8.2

Startup is internal. All disks are internal.

I'm having the same problem. In my case, the child filesystems show up on the desktop, but not the sidebar. 10.8.2 server.

After I click the OK button, everything seems to be fine. I'm not even sure what it is telling me I don't have privileges for. Permissions appear to be ok on the Music directory. Console only has some vague entries:

Drop the volume on DEVICES.

That works for me (without showing child file systems on the desktop).
