5.1.12.3. The global zone mounts a file system when the local zone is booted

[dd]File systems can be provided to a local zone by the global zone not only as loopback filesystems. The following example shows how to mount a file system as an UFS directly when the zone is booted. The file system is mounted by the global zone in /zones/<zonepath>/root.

Please note: According to RFE 6495558, for filesystems that have been mounted in this manner by zoneadm -z zone1 boot, no repair of corrupt file systems will be performed. This can therefore prevent zones from starting.

dir: /mnt

5.1.12.4. The local zone mounts a UFS file system from a device

[dd]The local zone itself can also mount filesystems. To do so, the corresponding block and raw

device must be assigned to the zone. Once the zone has been restarted, the devices are available in the zone.

zonecfg:zone1> add device zonecfg:zone1:device> set match=/dev/dsk/c1d0s0 zonecfg:zone1:device> end

zonecfg:zone1> add device

zonecfg:zone1:device> set match=/dev/rdsk/c1d0s0 zonecfg:zone1:device> end

zonecfg:zone1> info device device:

match: /dev/dsk/c1d0s0

device:

match: /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0 zonecfg:zone1> commit zonecfg:zone1> exit

After installing and booting of the zone the mount can be done inside of zone1:

zone1# ls /dev/dsk
c1d0s0
zone1# mount /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 /mnt
zone1# df -k /dev/dsk/c1d0s0
Filesystem	kbytes	used	avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1d0s0	7064379 3794979 3198757			55%	/mnt
global# df -kZ /zones/zone1/root/dev/dsk/c1d0s0
Filesystem	kbytes	used	avail capacity		Mounted on
/zones/zone1/root/dev/dsk/c1d0s0
	7064379 3794979 3198757			55%	/zones/zone1/root/mnt
