add file system to an existing zone

add file system to an existing zone

(OP)
Hello,

I have just used the following to add a new file system to one of my zones:-

global# newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
global# zonecfg -z my-zone
zonecfg:my-zone> add fs
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set dir=/usr/mystuff
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set special=/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set raw=/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set type=ufs
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> end

How can I make this appear in my zone without having to reboot the zone?

RE: add file system to an existing zone

The devfsadm command should do the trick.

RE: add file system to an existing zone

Your zone won't recognize the new configuration until it's reread.

RE: add file system to an existing zone

try:

mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /zones/my-zone/root/usr/mystuff

my-zone filesystem is just an alternate root off the global zone. Make sure directory /zones/my-zone/root/usr/mystuff exists first.

RE: add file system to an existing zone

I should have mentioned to mount it in the root zone. You probably figured that...
