Hello Jeff, thank you for your answer.. well the sinple answer why I need it is
because my iPlanet installation does fail when trying to install it in a zone
that is not global, aparently it does try to install something in /usr directory
which is read only and installation does fail on that...
:(
Regards,
Chris

There are several possible solutions which may help you with your goal.
In order to choose from among them, though, we need to know why you would
want to make /usr read-write from the zone. Simply making it a read-write
mount would violate the security model of sparse-root zones.

in http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/6mhahuoo6?a=view document
there is something like this:
inherit-pkg-dir
This resource should not be configured in a whole root zone.
In a sparse root zone, the inherit-pkg-dir resource is used to represent
directories that contain packaged software that a non-global zone shares
with the global zone.
The contents of software packages transferred into the inherit-pkg-dir
directory are inherited in read-only mode by the non-global zone. The
zone's packaging database is updated to reflect the packages. These
resources cannot be modified or removed after the zone has been installed
using zoneadm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note
Four default inherit-pkg-dir resources are included in the configuration.
These directory resources indicate which directories should have their
associated packages inherited from the global zone. The resources are
implemented through a read-only loopback file system mount.
/lib
/platform
/sbin
/usr
It does make those file systems as read-only loopback, is there any way to
make /usr read/write loopback or even if I need to make it as a separate
file system partition of directory. I would like to make it so its
read/write partition.
Please help.
Chris
