It began as a personal voyage through the strange world of systems, network, and storage administration. Original stops were in the usual (Linux/Windows/Unix/OSX/Cisco/Brocade/Juniper) stations, but later on more were added. Please don't tip the delivery boy. This was never planned to be the ultimate authoritative source of knowledge, but more like quick notes and thoughts to help me remember how to do something. If you learn something by reading this, don't blame me!

One of the main problems I will have with setting up a zone for mail is that postfix wants to install aliases in /sbin. So, I cannot make a zone that sucks parts of the global zone's OS. It is a bit easier to create an empty zone and install all the packages I need in it. What I have in mind then, as my first test, is to put the entire mail zone in an external drive. For now that means to a 33GB external USB drive I have.
I will probably set it up as a LOFS because that preserves the filesystem name space and to the local zone the path will start at the zone's root.
Ok, I am not making sense yet. I will put my thoughts a bit clear later on.
