Buggy files may have all types bad assumptions; this problem isn't new: the root filesystem of a zone is typically in a simple directory of a filesystem with ufs. I seem to remember that flexlm wanted that the root was an actual root directory (so you can run only one copy). They didn't realize that faking the hostid is just too simple ....
