You could mount an extra volume over /var/opt/SUNWbb/root/home.


Of course the current case concerns old CAM, but new Kiosk Mode handles home directories in a similar way, so the issues are still the same.

In this case, it would be great if we had way to leverage the beauty of ZFS
cloning, so space would only get consumed for differences in the home
dirs (it's like VM page copies - they share a single page until one gets
"dirty" and *then* the real copy occurs).

Maybe something to consider for future enhancements.


I don't think that makes so much sense. The kiosk user home directories are not identical. At the very least the files and directories in them have different ownership. I assume an initial chown -R will defeat any attempt at disk space sharing.

If there is a significant amount of read-only data that should be available to all kiosk session instances, it would be better to put it into the session or application install directory (root owned) and use it from there.
