>From the global zone, use "zonecfg -z <zonename> info" and look for entries about inherit-pkg-dir. If there are four (/usr, /lib, and two others) then it's a sparse-root zone, and /usr should look the same in the zone as in the GZ. If they are not present, it's a whole-root zone, and the zone has its own /usr which may include software not available in the GZ or in other zones. > I took the default options when creating zones. If that's true, it's a sparse-root zone, and anything in the GZ's /usr would be visible in the zone's /usr. If a sparse-root zone can't see things in /usr that the GZ can, either another loopback mount is needed, or something is broken. It's hard to know without more information, such as: Output of "zonecfg ... info" Output of "mount" in both the GZ and the zone. > -Arun > > Jeff Victor wrote: >> >> Is it a sparse-root zone or a whole-root zone?
