Re: [zones-discuss] Mounting /var and /opt as filesystem in container
Brad, sorry for taking so long to answer - christmas time ;-) That problem is exactly Bug 6449301. The workaround is to "add fs" after the zones installation.

Brad, I am not sure what you are trying to achieve, but http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/6n7ht6qsm?a=view lists the ways that are possible, if you want to bring a global Zones ZFS into a zone 1.

Detlef, To be specific, do you mean that within the global zone, you have to do the following: 1. Add the zfs filesystem as legacy filesystem. 2. Manually add entry into /etc/vfstab (please provide example as I don't see one anywhere). 3. Mount the zfs filesystem in the global zone. 4.

Re: [zones-discuss] Mounting /var and /opt as filesystem in container
I think you have to mount the zfs as legacy mount point via /etc/vfstab, before you can "add fs" this to a zone. (I remember that I've seen this in the manual, but have'nt tried this by myself.)
