I've been playing around with zones on NFS a bit and have run into what looks to be a pretty bad snag - ZFS keeps seeing read and/or checksum errors. This exists with S10u8 and OpenSolaris dev build snv_129. This is likely a blocker for anything thinking of implementing parts of Ed's Zones on Shared Storage:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zones/zoss The OpenSolaris example appears below. The order of events is: 1) Create a file on NFS, turn it into a zpool 2) Configure a zone with the pool as zonepath 3) Install the zone, verify that the pool is healthy 4) Boot the zone, observe that the pool is sick r...@soltrain19# mount filer:/path /mnt r...@soltrain19# cd /mnt r...@soltrain19# mkdir osolzone r...@soltrain19# mkfile -n 8g root r...@soltrain19# zpool create -m /zones/osol osol /mnt/osolzone/root r...@soltrain19# zonecfg -z osol osol: No such zone configured Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone. zonecfg:osol> create zonecfg:osol> info zonename: osol zonepath: brand: ipkg autoboot: false bootargs: pool: limitpriv: scheduling-class: ip-type: shared hostid: zonecfg:osol> set zonepath=/zones/osol zonecfg:osol> set autoboot=false zonecfg:osol> verify zonecfg:osol> commit zonecfg:osol> exit r...@soltrain19# chmod 700 /zones/osol r...@soltrain19# zoneadm -z osol install Publisher: Using opensolaris.org (http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ http://pkg-na-2.opensolaris.org/dev/).
