Hi all,just a quick question about ZFS volumes inside non-global zones. The zfs manpage seems a bit paradox about it - can it be used or not?
The manpage zfs(1M) says for volumes:
volume A logical volume exported as a block device.
This type of dataset should only be used
under special circumstances; file systems are
typically used. Volumes cannot be used in a
non-global zone.
Later in the section "Zones" it reads:
A ZFS emulated volume can be added as a device to a non-
global zone by using zonecfg's "add device" subcommand. How-
ever, its physical properties can only be modified by the
global administrator.
The Zones section part basically says what I would be expecting. Also adding
zvols to zones using zonecfg's 'add device' does work. But the sentence "Volumes
cannot be used in a non-global zone." is a bit disturbing...
Any insights?
Thanks and have a nice weekend all,
Ralph
