hey,
with solaris 10 comes the zones facility. in order to segregate zones,
i'd like to create a filesystem of its own for each of the zones' root
filesystem.
current disks are now 73gb+, but still only 7 slices... if one count /,
/var, swap and metadb, this leaves only 3 slices on the disks.
so i'd like to know how you guys are dealing with this? since zfs is
still not there - and won't be able to be installed on boot disks anyway
at first - i'm stuck with sds...
are you using soft partitions? since i'm using a two-way mirrors, this
would force me to create the following metadevices (for example):
d30 -m d100 d110
d100 1 1 d120
d110 1 1 d130
d120 -p c1t0d0s5 -o 1 -b 8389656
d130 -p c1t1d0s5 -o 1 -b 8389656
==> which is quite clumsy - 5 metadevices for a lone usable metadevice!
so, how are you dealing with this situation?
As someone else pointed out if you really need to have different
filesystems (quota) for each zone then SVM Soft Partitions are right
choice.
ZFS - although you won't be able to *boot* from ZFS with first stable release
nothing prevents you to create one large slice with remaining space
on your local disks then do stripe/raidz/mirror/whatever with zfs
and put zones on that pool (within different filesystems if you want).
That's what I'm doing right now with Nevada builds.
