Hi all,

I'm in the process of creating a Solaris package designed to install in a sparse-root zone. Solaris sparse-root zones mount /usr/* read only, so the package can't put files in /usr at all. My first instinct is to use a file-layout which puts *everything* amanda installs in /opt/amanda/. That mean we would have something like:

/opt/amanda/bin
/opt/amanda/sbin
/opt/amanda/lib/amanda
/opt/amanda/var/lib/
/opt/amanda/etc/
/opt/amanda/share

I'm really not a Solaris admin, so I don't the have experience to know The Right Way to do a sparse-root install.

I'd like some input from any Solaris admins or users that either know, or have (non-local-config-dependent) ideas.

The source will end up in amanda's SourceForge repository, and the binary package will be on download.zmanda.com.

Thanks for any help!

Dan Locks
