zones can't live in the same filesystem as the root filesystem, so presumably /zone1 is a mountpoint of another zfs filesystem? (although i thought we detected such a situation and emitted an error.) also, by default zones aren't mounted in opensolaris. so assuming that /zone1 is a zfs filesystem then what would be interesting is todo: zfs list -t all -r <dataset_mounted_on_/zone1> ed _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
