I will see if i can produce the same fenomena again, but later on, as there are testings to be done. Just out of interest, what strange behaviour are you seeing with mounted state. It shouldn't be possible to get a zone into a 'mounted' state (so I was told when I hit the same thing a few months back). It's not documented anywhere and shouldn't be user visible. Fortunately, now that Solaris is an OS OS (open-source operating system :-) ) you can research for yourself the possible conditions that a zone can be in the 'mounted' state. I searched for some of the different states (ready running configured installed) and found the #define for ZONE_STATE_STR_MOUNTED. That led me to the #define ZONE_STATE_MOUNTED. The latter is used in a conditional a few times, but I only found one occasion where it can be *supplied* as a state, in kernel_state_to_user_state(). According to the inline doc, execution can only get there if the zone's root is mounted on $ZONEPATH/lu. -- Jeff VICTOR Sun Microsystemsjeff.victor @ sun.com OS AmbassadorSr. Technical Specialist Solaris 10 Zones FAQ:http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq -- ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Peter Guthrie wrote: FYI, I just found this thread when I Google'd for the same problem. This is on a w2100z running B44. In my case the zone installed perfectly and I was able to login to it. After a reboot I found it in the 'mounted' state. As the previous posts in this thread indicate, that should not happen. The mounted state is not one of the states that we transition into when you reboot a running zone. If you can provide any more details that might help narrow down the sequence of steps that you did to end up in this state, that would be useful to try to determine if there is a bug lurking here.
