Re: [zones-discuss] Mounting /var and /opt as filesystem in container
Brad, I am not sure what you are trying to achieve, but http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/6n7ht6qsm?a=view lists the ways that are possible, if you want to bring a global Zones ZFS into a zone 1. Look for Adding ZFS File Systems to a Non-Global Zone and please note the text in the comment after that ! 2. Another way would be to just create a loopback mount into a zone. e.g.: mount global-zone:/zoneshare in a zone as local-zone:/zoneshare in zonecfg: add fs set type=lofs set dir=/zoneshare set special=/zoneshare set options=rw I assume you mean 1., but 2. also works.

Re: [zones-discuss] Mounting /var and /opt as filesystem in container
Hello Detlef, What I want to do is add a new non-gobal zone where the initial zone config includes a legacy mode zfs filesystem. If the zfs filesystem exists but is not mounted, when you install the zone, you get an error similar to the following: Preparing to install zone m1. ERROR: No such file or directory: cannot mount /data/zones/m1/root/zfstest in non-global zone to install: the source block device or directory backup/zfstest cannot be accessed ERROR: cannot setup zone m1 inherited and configured file systems ERROR: cannot setup zone m1 file systems inherited and configured from the global zone ERROR: cannot create zone boot environment m1 zoneadm: zone 'm1': '/usr/lib/lu/lucreatezone' failed with exit code 74. Error: Zone installation failed, return value: 0 I want to know if there are specific steps that I can incorporate into my zonemgr script to enable this without having to wait until the zone is created and add the zfs filesystem as a second step.

Re: [zones-discuss] Mounting /var and /opt as filesystem in container
I think you have to mount the zfs as legacy mount point via /etc/vfstab, before you can add fs this to a zone. (I remember that I've seen this in the manual, but have'nt tried this by myself.)

Detlef, To be specific, do you mean that within the global zone, you have to do the following: 1. Add the zfs filesystem as legacy filesystem. 2. Manually add entry into /etc/vfstab (please provide example as I don't see one anywhere). 3. Mount the zfs filesystem in the global zone. 4.
