Re: [zones-discuss] non-global zone sees /usr/local/bin
The answer depends on your goal, and exactly what you have done already. The latter wasn't entirely clear. If your goal is to create one zone, and give it sole access (writable) to its own /usr/local, and you hadn't configured the zone's /usr/local yet, you can do this: global-zone# zonecfg -z myzone add fs set dir=/usr/local set special=/usr/local set type=lofs end exit The global zone and non-global zone must each have a directory /usr/local. The next time you boot the zone, it will have writable access to /usr/local.

Yes; /usr is mounted read-only by default. How can I get around this, do I have to create an new /usr/local/* in the non-global zone, if so how do I get the non-global zone from seeing the global zones /usr/local/* The most correct way of addressing this is to not use /usr/local in the first place. /opt/local is the SVR4 way of doing this. So, move your global zone's /usr/local to /opt/local, then add that directory to your non-global zone. -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA, OGB member CEO, My Online Home Inventory Voice: +1 (250) 979-1638 URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.myonlinehomeinventory.com ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
