Another thing. If you will use live upgrade (and as I understand then "pkg image-update" does that seamlessly) then besides putting each zone on its own filesystem you also should add another two datasets to be delegated to zones where they can store their data. This would ensure that during LU you don't boot up with a bit old data in zones. For example, this could be very important on mail servers so you don't "forget" some new mails in spool directories which arrived after creation of new environment, but before reboot. > > > -- > Robert Milkowski > http://milek.blogspot.com > > > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss >
