Cyril, long time no read.  :-)

I have a machine here that I poured a fair amount of work into and it does
an amazing job of running zones with resource controls as well as a separate
IP stack for those zones. And it has a ZPool in there also. So what you may
say ?

Have a look at this :

# uname -a
SunOS pluto 5.11 snv_81 sun4u sparc sun4u

# zfs list
NAME                USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT

zone_pool/z_001     146M   366M   146M  /zone/z_001
zone_pool/z_002      18K   512M    18K  /zone/z_002

# zoneadm list -vc

        value: (priv=privileged,limit=384,action=deny)


# zonename
global
# pkginfo | wc -l
     115

Three guesses how small the footprint is for this machine ?

# df -F ufs -k
Filesystem       1024-blocks    Used   Available Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d0        741870  622534       97080    87%    /

This machine has Apache with PostgreSQL, PHP5 etc etc all in a zone and with
ipfilter working fine.  It is a marvel to see something this small, almost
appliance like, running so perfectly.  The zone is 146MB in size *after* all
that software is installed.

The last thing to test is live update ... but getting the ISO image has
become less than a thrill.

What I find frustrating is that there is amazing technology and engineering
in Solaris but you can't get to it unless you jump through hoops.
