We've built up a set of tools to create, clone, and tear down zones. We're concerned more with how fast we can build one and move one, than in how much memory we're saving by sharing in-memory footprints. (At one time this was a point to be made but I don't think anyone ever made any measurement, I could be wrong.) To make ipkg zones, we'd have to have access to a repository or maintain a local one (to date I don't think anyone's done this yet, right? The default repo is still at a opensolaris.org space.) Machines behind air gaps may never be able to run OS, and if they do, we'd have a harder time making zones on the fly for them. 1. ipkg zones take longer to build 2. and require an internet connection CT -- http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430218916 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro OpenSolaris - The breakfast of champions. _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
