Re: [zones-discuss] pkg install AMP in a sparse zone

Re: [zones-discuss] pkg install AMP in a sparse zone
Yikes! Seriously, no sparse zones? That wasn't in the Bible book I don't think. This is a pretty big deal! Is this list the best place to follow to learn such things? -- devin On May 17, 2009, at 11:50 PM, Dan Price wrote: On Sat 16 May 2009 at 07:02PM, Julien Beauviala wrote: Hello, Installing the AMP stack (as in `pfexec pkg install AMP`) in a sparse zone (osol 111a) will fail, because /usr isn't available.

So in the short term, at least, we've tried to ensure that zones are relatively compact by default. Unlike the whole-root zones in Nevada, a default, whole-root zone in 2009.06 is just about 140MB, regardless of the contents of the global zone. That said, the software will allow you to configure sparse zones, and won't warn you that this is generally a bad idea right now-- that's my fault, and I apologize. You're seeing the effects of OpenSolaris existing as a derivative of Nevada, but with significant changes. As a result, things are rough at some of the edges. I would recommend that you install the default zone (which is whole root) and simply add your AMP stack to that. Everything should work smoothly, and if not, please let us know. -dp -- Daniel Price, Solaris Kernel Engineeringhttp://blogs.sun.com/dp ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] pkg install AMP in a sparse zone
Double Yiekes!!. All my customers use an SOE of sparce zones (With Solaris 10 of course) so if that is really the case it will be a problem for them to migrate to OpenSolaris if/when that becomes neccessary. Something like this could have serious concequences down the track and should be communicated to the field/customers real quick. gz Devin Ceartas wrote: Yikes! Seriously, no sparse zones?
