Is it possible to add an inherit-pkg-dir to a zone's config after

to ask.
The man page and docs.sun.com are a little vague on this. They both
say "Such resources [those pkgs] are not modifiable or removable once
a zone has been installed with zoneadm." But if you interpret "such
resources" as "the ones that have already been inherited" then the
possibility of adding new ones is not mentioned.
Jeff,
The code currently disallows this. See add_resource() in
usr/src/cmd/zonecfg/zonecfg.c.
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/zonecfg/zonecfg.c
currently at line 1587.

Hi
Basically if say /lib was a local copy in the zone, then adding
inherit-pkg-dir=/lib would mean replacing it with a lofs mount, which
could possibly destabilise the system and so on, and would also have
implications for patches already installed ( basically any installed
patch that touched files in /lib would no longer be removable, as the
undo would try and restore files back to a lofs mount ).
Also the contents DB in the zone etc would need to be synced and son on.
So thats partly the reason for not allowing it, i.e. introduce
instability to the installed zone in many forms.
Enda
