I have a customer that is having a problem mount a vxfs filesystem in a
local zone..
Customer sent me a description on his issue..
Ken,
As we discussed I am sending this email to describe my problems with
mounting of Vxfs filesystems in local zones. I am able to mount Veritas
volumes in local zones if the filesystem type is UFS as in the example
below:
add fs
set dir=/export/home
set special=/dev/vx/dsk/homedg/ud506d-export-home
set raw=/dev/vx/rdsk/homedg/ud506d-export-home
set type=ufs
end
As soon as I change the filesystem type to vxfs (and regen the FS) the
zone fails to boot because it can't find the mount command in
/usr/lib/fs/vxfs. That directory does not get created when the local
zone is created. I am using create -b to create zones which means they
should be "full". This being the case I tried to "bandaid" the
situation by creating /usr/lib/fs/vxfs in the local zone and putting a
link in to point to /etc/fs/vxfs/mount which is the same method used by
UFS. I copied both directories from the global. It still fails. I
need to know Sun's official position on this and the fix (if any). If
the mounting of Vxfs filesystems is not supported in local zones this is
a major bug. We use Vxfs for all Production applications and this would
severely limit our use of local zones in Solaris 10.
Thanks for any help on this
Ken
