[zones-discuss] zoneadm install fails with legacy mounted ZFS filesystem
Hi, I'm having trouble in SXCE b84 with the issue in subject, discussed in this 2006 mailing list: http://osdir.com/ml/solaris.opensolaris.zones/2006-07/msg00027.html The workaround is easy (remove the add fs with type=zfs prior to install and add it again just after that) but does anyone know if a bug has been filed for that?

[zones-discuss] zoneadm install help message gives wrong man page info about brands
Using S10u4 with 127111-03 and the S8MA pkgs. I ran zoneadm install with invalid arguments and the help message that was printed seemed inaccurate. A brand(4) man-page was mentioned, but I think it should be brands(5) which is mentioned in the man page of zoneadm. [EMAIL PROTECTED] zoneadm install solaris8 -u -a /mnt/cvstest.flar usage: install [brand-specific args] Install the configuration on to the system. All arguments are passed to the brand installation function; see brand(4) for more information. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Yes, you created an invalid configuration. You can't have /var be an inherited pkg dir since that directory must be writable and each zone needs its own private copy.

Did you add this to the zone configuration on your own (if so, why?), or did some script do it for you (if so, what script?)? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org Hi Create -b creates a whole root zone, esssentially /lib /sbin/ platform and /usr are no longer inherited, but then in the zone config you specify these as being inherited anyway, esentially drop the -b, now the real problem is the last inherit /var, var must be writqable, and is what is causing the failure. so 1 no need to use -b to create, 2 no need to specify inherit for /lib /sbin /platform and usr once -b is not used 3 lose the inherit of /var Why are you inheriting /var, might be able to give better advise once we understand issue Enda ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
