Suppose I have some (SXCE, S10) zones with /opt in in the

It seems to me that I could do:
zonecfg -z optzone
create -t badzone
set zonepath=/zones/optzone
remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/opt
zoneadm -z optzone install
zoneadm -z badzone halt
cd /zones/optzone/root
find opt | cpio -pdump@ /zones/badzone/root
vi /etc/zones/badzone.xml (remove inherit-pkg-dir for /opt line)
zoneadm -z badzone boot
I know that it is unsupported. Experimentation suggests that it
works. What thorny issues exist (aside from resources & priorities)
that make it so that something like this isn't supported?
patching in s10 woudl render this problematic, in particular the
presence of an empty undo.Z for inherited package dirs, such that a
patch that was added to an inherited /opt woudl not have an undo entries
for /opt, so if one changed the zone to not inherit /opt, then ran
patchrm it woudl lead to some possible undesired behaviopur, ie bits
from patch not removed, particularly relevant to JES products that
install to /opt
Enda
FWIW, I suspect that the real implementation would probably be more like:
zoneadm -z badzone detach
zoneadm -z badzone attach -u --uninherit /opt
Where a single letter option would be added instead of --uninherit.
