Re: [zones-discuss] lofiadm within zones

[Prakash Kochummen]

Thanks Ketan, part of my problem is that my iso file is on a NAS share. I 
mounted the NAS share through NFS on the global, lofiadm/mounted the iso on the 
global and tried to lofs to the local zone. It does not work as it is not a 
local filesystem.

Currently we are NFS mounting the iso to a server , lofiadm/mounting the iso to 
the global and then sharing it using NFS to the local zones. Not the best 
solution but it works. 

Thanks for your time.

Try to mout it in Global zone. And you can mount the lofi device from the 
global zone to the local zone too without adding lofi device to local zone.
