/opt is one of the things that must reside on the root file system
because there are a few things that are delivered with the system into
that directory. (Sigh ...)
The usual way to deal with this, though, is one of the following:
- Reserve a large amount of space for /export or /export/home
(combining s6 and s7 in your example), and then use lofs mounts to
populate /opt/{csw,sfw,SUNWspro,...} from there. Something like
this in vfstab:
/export/csw - /opt/csw lofs - yes -
(Don't use a symlink, as packages delivering that directory will
blow away the symlink and just make a mess of things.)
- Use zfs, and specify "zfs create -o mountpoint=/opt/csw z/csw" for
a blaswave file system on pool 'z'.
