Lots of msgs are written to sun people then. No solution. But the trick I wrote about worked. I run s10u6 fully on ZFS now with my zones on ZFS. Only thing I find weird: SUN recomments to set the canmount option to noauto for the rpool/zones ; rpool/zones/zoneA/B/C Having done so the zones don't start when set "autoboot=true" Have I missed an option in the /etc/zones/zoneA.xml ? For now I changed canmount=noauto into canmount=on and my zones start as I was used to.
