Hi all, I'm seeing something weird with inheritance of property group values across instances, and I'm wondering if this is a bug in SMF?
My service is composed of a service bundle, and a series of instances. The instances inherit most of their configuration from the parent bundle (dependencies, start/stop methods, etc.) and I was hoping they would end up being just an application property group, and not much more. - sources[1] at: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/zfs-snapshot/src/var/svc/manifest/system/filesystem/ auto-snapshot.xml is the main service manifest, with zfs-auto-snapshot*.xml declaring the instances. One thing I wanted to have, was the general/action_authorization property value get specified in the main service instead of declaring it for each instance. For some reason, when I do that without having that property also set in the instance manifests, the zfssnap user gets permission denied when trying to enable/disable the service. Is this pilot-error or a bug? Should the general property group get inherited by instances too, or is it instance-specific? The application property group I declare in the service manifest gets inherited ok by the instances. cheers, tim [1] I just pushed a change to make the instances explicitly declare the general property group to work around the behaviour I'm seeing, but it might take a while for the url above to get updated.
