Adding a filesystem to a running local zone

Is there a way to mount a filesystem from the global zone to the local zone without rebooting the local zone?

I'm using a lofs filesystem..

any help is appreciated! thanks..

Which filesystem?Are you inheriting any of the fileystem from the global?
can you do zonecfg -z < zone name > info ?

I want to add the cdrom drive from the global zone, so /cdrom.

I've done it before with a lofs filesystem, but i rebooted the local zone to make the change take place...

can i do the same thing without rebooting the local zone?

Not between a global zone and a non-global zone on the same machine.

It might work by mounting or lofs mounting onto the mountpoint a seen in from the global zone. eg:

Code:
mount -F ufs/dev/dsk/c2t2d0s3 /export/zones/myzone/mnt

or

Code:
mount -F lofs /export/my/filesystem /export/zones/myzone/mnt
