sparse-root zone variant
The sparse-root zone brand in Tribblix is similar to, but not
identical to, the sparse-root zones in Solaris 10.
The /usr, /sbin, and /lib file system hierarchies are lofs mounts
from a parent system. By default, the parent system is the global
zone. Unlike Solaris 10, an alternative parent, called a zone
template, can be created and used.
The recommended way to create zones in Tribblix is to use the create-
zone subcommand of the zap(1) utility.
For a sparse-root zone, specify -t sparse as follows.
zap create-zone -t sparse ...
