In all of the above, it seems as though you aren't using image
names, rather you are using zone names. -Z evokes "zone". Thus, it
shouldn't be "root", it should be "global". This avoids the
problems associated with a zone named "root".
That does bring up another issue. Is there intent to allow user
images to be linked to a system image? If so we probably need a way
to distinguish between user images and system images because user
images are unlikely to be participate in this scheme that is clearly
aimed at zones.
No, I actually do mean image names. I'm not sure what about the names
implies they're zones and not images. If it's that they don't all
begin with "system:" or "linked:" or whatever the tag is, my hope was
that we could make an educated inference about what kind of image
they meant 99.9% of the time, and not make them type the same prefix
over and over and over.
I wasn't aware that images had names. For some strange reason, I was
also thinking that -Z meant zone rather than zChildImage (forgot about
the silent z...) :).
:) Yeah, I thought about -I, but we already have that option, though
undocumented and at the subcommand level, but since it has a meaning
that I thought was nearly opposite of what we wanted, I thought that
wasn't a good choice. Perhaps -i?
