Hi all.
I come from the "Real Solaris" world, been working with Solaris 10 for about 3
years now, and decided to give OpenSoalaris a place on my home server vice Soalris 10 x86.
I think I'm missing something here, on Solaris 10 when I create a 'full' root
zone, it copies over 100,000's of files, and take up about 4GB.
I try that in Opensolaris and it copies over 72 MB WTF?
So, I did the sysid cfg and logged in and started to compile some stuff, only
to note that there is ton's of stuff missing. X11 libraries, etc...
Is this the default behaviour of Opensolaris, a 'full' root really means. 1/10
of the OS installed?
The ipkg zones on OpenSolaris are not at all the same as the native
zones on Solaris 10; at present they are a very basic OS instance which
can then be added to for your specific purpose. I'd suggest discussion
on zones-discuss, where the engineers are more likely to be found, and
they'll perhaps be able to fill you in on the rest of their plans in
developing this further.
Note that the transfer sizes displayed by pkg are compressed size, so
you actually got closer to 150 MB of executables and so on, which is
more accurate for comparison purposes vs. the old native zones.
