Still working on the truss(1) info - will post that separately. For this appliance, my intent is to run with a writable ram based root fs. As such, I do not have currently have any extra filesystems. When I build my root archive, I make it about 50mb larger than it needs to be, and then remount it to be writeable. So /etc/svc/volatile is just a directory in my archive. The contents currently (the cores were generated earlier with gcore):
# pwd /etc/svc/volatile # ls -l total 40064 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 5819791 Dec 9 01:48 confd.core.100008 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 4423163 Dec 9 01:46 core.100006 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 5819791 Dec 9 01:46 core.100008 -rw------- 1 0 0 412 Dec 9 01:16 init.state Drw-r--r-- 1 0 0 0 Dec 9 01:17 repository_door -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 4423163 Dec 9 01:48 startd.core.100006 -rw------- 1 0 0 18432 Dec 9 01:17 svc_nonpersist.db -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
