[zones-discuss] carry forward mount points from global to non-global zones

2007-10-25 Thread Kamlakar Patil
Hi All, I have one simple question: Is there a way to carry forward the external mount's in global zone to all the non-global zone on that particular system? e.g. If I mount something on /mnt of global, how it can be made visible in all non-global zones of that machine? Can anyone help? Thanks

Thanks Bob, this helped me get a few steps closer! I was able to install debian without any errors. But it hangs when I try to boot it. It says it was unable to mount the root filesystem.. /etc/fstab looked similar to the one in a centos zone. I thought ok, let's have a look at a installed cent

Jerry A question that I repeatedly get from customers is directly related to what you write: S10 is still a very dynamic release so the interpositioning layer would need constant work to cope with the on-going changes in the kernel/user-land boundary. Is this interface not limited to a fix

The idea has merit, although I'm not sure you can't get most of this effect with big zones, and careful application of patches and packages. Although, an entirely automated form of this as a branded zone would give would be great. Yes, we have to manage patches independently, and have to do u
