Hi Ok I have been using Indiana on my development laptop for a while, I am very impressed. One feature I am particularly impressed with is PKG & BEADM on ZFS.
The ability patch a boot environment and boot into it (and back if needed) really is setting opensolaris apart from other solutions. However if you install AMP and setup a database your database is not by default exported to different boot environments. Let me expand for clarity: 1) I install opensolaris, & amp (beadm rename originalenviro) 2) I setup a apache, mysql and php application and start importing data. 3) I "beadm create newenviro" 4) data still goes into originalenviro until I boot into newenviro 5) boot into newenviro and the new mysql data is lost. 6) same is true of /var/apache2 OK options and work arounds exist, I could stop mysql before the beadm create, I could move the mysql spool location. So should the AMP default locations be different? Should the BEADM export other locations or do I chalk it down to a PITA and start rolling my own?
