Hi,

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.
A way that worked for me is to "escape" the /usr directory using a symbolic
link:
1) In the global zone, move /usr/local to /_usr_local (or any other directory in
a file system that is not mounted read only in one of the local zones)
$ mv /usr/local /_usr_local
2) In the global zone, create a symbolic link that points from /usr/local to the
new location:
$ ln -s /_usr_local /usr/local
$ ls -ld /usr/local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 4 08:10 /usr/local -> /_usr_local
3) In the global zone, create a directory <zonepath>/root/_usr_local for each
local zone . As each local zone's /usr is a read only copy of the /usr tree of
the global zone, its file /usr/local is a link to a (writable) directory outside
of that file system in that zone.
Regards,
Bernd
thanks
