My experience with zonecfg on SmartOS is that you never know for sure what the outcome will be. Sometimes it works and sometimes you break things. I usually stick with the vmadm api if at all possible. Do you need to do snapshots within the zone? Maybe an lofs mount may work > better.

However, I've heard it said that even doing this is not the "SmartOS way of doing things." I'm curious what the SmartOS way is for large amounts of data in a zone.
