Be very careful here. If you allocate all of your Zones from a
single zpool and do NOT use quotas (and reservations) you can have one
Zone run the others out of disk space. Does the automatic (under the
covers) zfs create in Solaris 11 also automate setting reasonable
quotas and reservations ?
I don't want folks who are less familiar with ZFS to make that mistake.

We have used almost exclusively sparse root zones; for the space
efficiency, the global patching model, and the security of a read only
OS. I will be sorry to see the option of a sparse root zone go away.

In particular, the ZFS-based upgrade mechanism is substantially easier to use and works much better than what we had for S10. Forcing users to put zones on distinct ZFS datasets seems to me like a trivial matter that ends up simplifying and providing a lot of benefit. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
