On a test system that is using only ZFS, I'm trying to create a zone
but it keeps failing with:
netvirt-d1 ~# zoneadm -z exclusivetestzone1 install
ERROR: the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset.
The parent directory of the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset so that the
zonepath ZFS dataset can be created properly.
I don't get it. This restriction never used to exist.
Why do I need to do something extra that is mandatory?
Further to this, there's a script on Oracle's website here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19963-01/821-1460/z.conf.start-1/index.html
that also fails to configure create a zone that can be installed with
b154 bits.
To give an example (/tmp/ozone is the script from the above page)...
/ is rpool/ROOT/solaris
# zfs create rpool/ROOT/solaris/zone
# zfs set mountpoint=/zone rpool/ROOT/solaris/zone
# /tmp/ozone 1 exclusivetestzone /zone

booting exclusivetestzone1
zoneadm: zone 'exclusivetestzone1': must be installed before boot.
# zoneadm -z exclusivetestzone1 uninstall
Are you sure you want to uninstall zone exclusivetestzone1 (y/[n])? y
# zoneadm -z exclusivetestzone1 install
ERROR: the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset.
The parent directory of the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset so that the
zonepath ZFS dataset can be created properly.
# cat /zone/exclusivetestzone1.config
create
set zonepath=/zone/exclusivetestzone1
As you can see from this, the parent of the zonepath is /zone and that
is a freshly created ZFS dataset. Furthermore, / which is the parent of
/zone is also a ZFS dataset. Having /zone as a directory within / and
not a dataset also results in the above error.
Between zoneadm and zonecfg, I can't see anything that instructs me on
how to resolve this. Am I missing something?
