Re: [zones-discuss] Creating ZFS filesystems prior to zoneadm install
Why not simply create a writable /opt/local and using a symlink to it from /usr/local ?

Re: [zones-discuss] Creating ZFS filesystems prior to zoneadm install
Unfortunately, there is software that feels it must be smarter than the OS and will refuse to dereference symlinks (as well as hard code paths in their software) :) If only vendors would package software correctly... :) On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 1:03 PM, Fredrich Maney fredrichma...@gmail.com wrote: Why not simply create a writable /opt/local and using a symlink to it from /usr/local ?
