Hi all,
I''m having trouble using ZFS in a zone the way I want to. I
have a data pool, imaginatively called "pool" which I created
in the global zone. I have a couple of non-global zones, one
of which is called db. In the global zone I created one data
set for each zone:
root at andromeda216# zpool list
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
pool 68G 352K 68.0G 0% ONLINE -
root at andromeda217# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
pool 316K 67.5G 99K /pool
pool/db 98.5K 67.5G 98.5K /pool/db
In the db zone, I''d like to create a couple of datasets, home
and data (the former is for home directories and will be mounted
on /export/home, and the latter is a database, and will be
mounted on /var/pgsql).
Here''s the info for the db zone:
root at andromeda219# zonecfg -z db info
zonename: db
zonepath: /export/zones/db
autoboot: true
pool:
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /lib
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /platform
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /sbin
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /usr
net:
address: 192.168.0.16
physical: e1000g0
dataset:
name: pool/db
The dataset attribute suggests to me that I should be able to create
filesystems as a like in the db zone, but when I try it fails:
root at andromeda220# zlogin db
[Connected to zone ''db'' pts/3]

root at db44# zfs create pool/db/data
cannot create ''pool/db/data'': permission denied
Can someone please tell me what I''m doing wrong?
TIA,

Better solution would be to make your filesystems in the global zone.

I suppose for now the workaround would be to create the required file systems in the global zone and mount them inside the LZ? Bugs notwithstanding, is what I was trying to do doable, and is it the recommended way? (My intent is to allow the db zone admin to carve up the pool/db dataset as they want.)

Exporting just the filesystem (via ''add fs'') allows you to access the data, but you can''t actually administer it with the zfs commands. If you want the non-global zone admin to be able to create filesystem and/or manipulate properties, then you want to delegate the dataset to the zone. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock
