I depends, from what I know about zones, they are like virtual

Well, as I understand it, the point of zones is to delegate and reduce the
power of root access. For instance, running insecure or questionably-secure
software packages far removed from other services, or hosting with each
user getting root.


OTOH, a) running the OpenAFS server shouldn't be impacted (as I understand it,
this is strictly client-side), and b) I wouldn't be totally optimistic about
running the AFS client kernel module in the non-global zone anyway.


That does bring to mind something else, is the PAG namespace global across
user-mode linux instances?
