[zfs-discuss] Newbie question - check my zfs/zone config?
I''m building a production web server on a Sol10 u3 box , after giving
up on u4 [1]
Any zfs file systems have to be legacy mounted or EMC Networker/Legato
backup won''t see them.
I''ve been building zfs systems and zones for a while now , but I still
feel like a newbie, because the darn things just work.
Except when they don''t [2]
I would love a reality-check on my configuration - please tell me if
I''m doing anything I shouldn''t be doing here.
# zpool create -f zones <device name>
# zfs create zones/newzone
# zfs set mountpoint=legacy zones/newzone
# mkdir /zones/newzone
# mount -f zfs zones/newzone /zones/newzone
# chmod 700 /zones/newzone
# vi /etc/vfstab
zones/newzone - /zones/newzone zfs - yes -

zonecfg> set zonepath=zones/newzone

thanks Betsy
[1] install_cluster. patchadd. What''s UP with that in u4?
[2] got myself into a heap of trouble when I did something like the above
except tried to mount /zones instead of or in addition to
/zones/newzone. After a reboot,
box wouldn''t take any *packages*, even if limited to the global zone.
