How can I add a filesystem to an existing zone?

0

There are four methods. The following list uses UFS examples, but other types of file systems, such as HSFS and VxFS, can be used in the zonecfg “fs” resource type property or attached by mount(1M). • Create and mount the filesystem in the global zone and use LOFS to mount it into the non-global zone (very safe) • Create the filesystem in the global zone and use zonecfg to mount the filesystem into the zone as a UFS filesystem (very safe) • Export the device associated with the disk partition to the non-global zone, create the filesystem in the non-global zone and mount it. Security consideration: If a _block_ device is present in the zone, a malicious user could create a corrupt filesystem image on that device, and mount a filesystem. This might cause the system to panic. The problem is less acute with raw (character) devices. Disk devices should only be placed into a zone that is part of a relatively trusted infrastructure. • Mount a UFS filesystem directly into the non-global zone’s
