Re: [zones-discuss] making local zone's /var a separate filesystem
Hi Enda, This patch is still in the Tpatch state.Vineeth has however released his hold on the Tpatch after the customer verified it.The official patch should be released soon.

But installing patches during single user mode will show error messages like: Cannot check name: //var/sadm/... Patches will be installed partially. Everything is ok if we install patches during multi-user. But this is not an option for many patches! Question: Is it allowed to make local zone's /var a separate filesystem? If yes, then patchadd has a bug which must be fixed. If no, then man-pages zonecfg(1M) or zones(5) should mention that /var must reside within local zone's root filesystem. Can you enlight this? Thanx. This is a bug in patchadd, 6438808, the fix is currently under test and should appear on SunSolve shortly, days that is. The patch is 119254-31 ( sparc ) 119255-31 ( x86 ) I will contact the relevant people to get this patch released asap.
