By the way, I read the man page for filesystem...
It is clearly NOT as violently disagreeing as you are with my use of
/usr/local ...
Let me quote this as a reminder for you and others :
" /usr/local
Not part of the SVR4-based Solaris distribution. The
/usr directory is exclusively for software bundled with
the Solaris operating system. If needed for storing
machine-local add-on software, create the directory
/opt/local and make /usr/local a symbolic link to
/opt/local. The /opt directory or filesystem is for
storing add-on software to the system."
And in particular "If needed for storing machine-local add-on
software, create the directory /opt/local and make /usr/local a
symbolic link to /opt/local."
So what I am doing (i.e. storing machine-local add-on software) is not
really a problem. The recommended method is to link /usr/local from
/opt/local ... but certainly NOT to avoid using /usr/local (like you
seem to imply).
Again... Just quoting the official document to which you refered as well...
