it's not possible to create or manage zpools inside of zones. the best you can do is create a zpool in the global zone, and then use the zonecfg dataset resource to dedicate that zpool dataset to a zone. then you can create and manage zfs datasets within that zpool using the zfs command. ed _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
