Operating Systems Solaris Problem creating sol8 container using seperate / /usr and /var ufsdumps Post 302322424 by TonyFullerMalv on Wednesday 3rd of June 2009 05:04:06 PM
Old 06-03-2009
I have been involved with Solaris 8 zones but only from a flar file created using the flarcreate command run on a normally installed Solaris 8 system thus:
booted single user
# mountall
# cd /var/tmp
# flarcreate -n imagename -c -e imagename imagename

Where imagename is the name and filename of the flar file.

The resultant flar file created in /var/tmp contains all the filesystems in the one file, perhaps if you are going to use a ufsdump file it also has to have all the filesystems in the one file which is what ufsdump won't do if they are on separate slices?

So perhaps you need to build a system from your ufsdumsp with /, /usr and /var all in the same slice and then create a ufsdump from that or else create a flar file from the original system instead?

mounting

mounting(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual					       mounting(7)

NAME

       mounting - event signalling that a filesystem is mounting

SYNOPSIS

       mounting DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  mounting  event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon when it is about to mount a filesystem.  mountall(8) will wait for all services
       started by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by  this  event  to  be  stopped
       before proceeding with mounting the filesystem.

       The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.

EXAMPLE

       A tool that should be run before mounting the /var filesystem might use:

	      start on mounting MOUNTPOINT=/var
	      task

SEE ALSO

       mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) remote-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7) filesystem(7)
