UPDATE:
We created another zone on one of our test servers but this time watched df -Z to see 
what was actually being mounted during the zonadm -z  install.  It 
turns out that everything comes up as a LOFS mount during the installation, and the 
appropriate files are copied to their respective places.  Then, when the installation 
is complete, all of the LOFS are unmounted - all except the zone's /var filesystem.

Hopefully this will spark some ideas.

Hi
I tried to reproduce and have not been successful,
what is the global zones /var, is it on a different disk or slice etc.
Could I get some idea of /etc/mnttab entries

You say this worked fine then stopped working, any idea what patches 
were installed,
on the 11/06 what patches are installed, did this work on 11/06 and if 
so what software was installed post it working.

This method has worked for us in the past (with the zones that we've created prior to the original problem) - the reason we are put the zone's /var in /var/zones//var is to keep the /zones filesystem from filling up with log files in case something on the server goes awry.  


FYI, we have used the following as a guide for splitting out a zone's /var:

Hmm, so I was wrong, what was the original problem you mention above, 
from looking at the code on opensolaris, it appears that a mount point 
for /zones//root/var is already in place in the zone.
