Hi All,

So, if you're sharing a single install point of CSW packages over
NFS, we'd love to know.  It would also be interesting to know if
you've recently abandoned this approach for machine-local /opt.

*crickets*...So..nobody is still doing this or nobody wants to admit
it?  :)

Private replies are fine too.  We really are interested in knowing
whether sites are still doing this.  So far I've had only a single
(negative) response.  Thanks Joseph!

Thanks
-Ben

I don't do the NFS mounts any more, but I do something similar. I have tried to share /opt read only via loopback mounts from a Solaris global zone into a sparse zone. If I can make it work, it can save a lot of space. Unfortunately not all packages work well with sparse zones.
