One of the new features coming in patchadd is the use of loopback mounts, so that if you install a patch that changes something that would break existing software, it's installed, then the old version is loopback mounted on top of it until you reboot. http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/sundocs/articles/patch-wn.jsp has more details. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
