Zone failes to boot due to mount issue, dir exists in zone.
I have two physical servers, with zones that mount local storage.
We were using "raw device" in the zonecfg to point to a metadevice on the global zone (it was not mounted in the global zone at any point).
It failed to mount on every boot because the directory existed in the zone.
I changed it to a lofs mount, so at that point it is mounted in the global zone and being shared.
I still get the same error, I have to delete the directory in the zone prior to booting the zone in order to mount, or for the zone to even boot. It fails cause the directory exists, and the zone will not boot when the physical server reboots...
Has anyone een this before? I'm stumped, I dont want to have to make a script that deletes the directory.

After creating a NGZ (non global zone), the NGZ can access the GZ (Global Zone) and the GZ can access the NGZ (using ssh, zlogin)
However, the NGZ cannot access any other netwqork devices, it can't even see the default router

nbp_name
NBP_NAME(3) Library Functions Manual NBP_NAME(3)
NAME
nbp_name - NBP name parsing
SYNOPSIS
nbp_name( name, obj, type, zone )
char *name, **obj, **type, **zone;
DESCRIPTION
nbp_name() parses user supplied names into their component object, type, and zone. obj, type, and zone should be passed by reference, and
should point to the caller's default values. nbp_name() will change the pointers to the parsed-out values. name is of the form
object:type@zone, where each of object, :type, and @zone replace obj, type, and zone, respectively. type must be proceeded by `:', and
zone must be preceded by `@'.
EXAMPLE
The argument of afpd(8)'s -n option is parsed with nbp_name(). The default value of obj is the first component of the machine's hostname
(as returned by gethostbyname(3)). The default value of type is ``AFPServer'', and of zone is ``*'', the default zone. To cause afpd to
register itself in some zone other than the default, one would invoke it as
afpd -n @some-other-zone
obj and type would retain their default values.
BUGS
obj, type, and zone return pointers into static area which may be over-written on each call.
