Spoke with customer, David Radden they have applied update 06. Now they are having an issue with ZFS. Customer is attempting to clone a zone. Normally when source and target are in the same pool ZFS uses snapshop. Now its using CPIO to copy instead of snapshot. Any suggestions?

This feature is only in Nevada at the moment. It''s easy to hack in an unsupported way. IIRC, I did something like this: Get the new zone setup as far as the ''configured'' state. Easy way is to dump the existing zone''s configuration zonecfg -z existingzone export -f /tmp/x Edit /tmp/x changing things (rootpath, any IP addresses, etc) zonecfg -z newzone -f /tmp/x Snapshot and clone the existing zone into /path/for/new/zone. Run sys-unconfig -R /path/for/new/zone Edit /etc/zones/index to change new zone''s state from configured to installed. Done. (You can now boot newzone) -- Andrew
