Zones do not support global file systems directly, but you can achieve your usage scenario by using loopback mounts. Say you have a global fs /global/myfs in the GZ. Mount this into the NGZs using lofs: zonecfg:foo> add fs zonecfg:foo:fs> set special=/global/myfs zonecfg:foo:fs> set type=lofs .... > And while we're at it, how would that perform compared to just using > NFS? Don't know for sure, but surely it can't be any worse than NFS? Thanks, Zoram > > tia, > > Mads Toftum -- Zoram Thanga::Sun Cluster Development::http://blogs.sun.com/zoram
