You might take a look at: 4754856 *prstat* prstat -atJTZ should count shared segments only once This has been fixed in nevada since last December and will be fixed in the upcoming S10u4 release as well. This is also discussed in more detail in this thread: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=10451&tstart=0 and in this arc cases: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2006/496/ Jerry _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
