I installed my zones, in a sparse zone format. question is, is there a way to NOT use /usr/local from the global zone and use a local copy or start with a clean /usr/local on the zone besides in a whole root format where it copies the global over to the zone. I do not want to rebuild the zone if possible, is there any way around this.
Yes, assuming there is already a /usr/local directory (empty or otherwise) under the global zone's /usr, the following steps can be used from within the non-global zone: myzone# df -h / Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on / 37G 178M 36G 1% / myzone# mkdir /local myzone# mount -F lofs /local /usr/local To make the file system persistent, add the appropriate entry to the zone's /etc/vfstab file /usr/local - /local lofs - yes - dsc _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
