No. This isn't a file permission issue; it's a characteristic of the file system itself. This is similar to asking if there's a privilege to give a user the ability to write to a read-only CDROM device. Even if you could do this, you _really_ wouldn't want to. Any change to /usr in this zone would affect every other sparse root zone as well as the global zone. A root user within this zone could completely trash your machine. > Is it possible remove /usr from inherit-pkg-dir entries? Not after the zone has been installed. If you were allowed to do that, you would end up with a zone that has no /usr directory at all.
