Thanks, ZFS wouldn't appear to be an option here as we are only dealing with a pair of internal disks with no SAN-attached storage. Paul John Clingan wrote: That's where you want to use zfs datasets. Push a dataset to each zone and mount zone-local bits, data and logs to filesystems

[zones-discuss] Downsides to zone roots on ZFS?

2007-02-07 Thread Rich Teer
Hi all, Last time I checked, having one's zone roots (zonepaths) on ZFS file systems was not a recommended practice, despite the fact that this works. IIRC, the problem was that the upgrade code didn't grok zfs and would therefore get terribly confused should the zone roots reside on ZFS.
