Use zonecfg to configure the lofs mount; this will work nicely for CDs in addition to ordinary filesystems:

 # zonecfg -z zone1
 zonecfg:zone1> add fs
 zonecfg:zone1:fs> set dir=/depot
 zonecfg:zone1:fs> set special=/depot
 zonecfg:zone1:fs> set type=lofs
 zonecfg:zone1:fs> add options [nodevices]
 zonecfg:zone1:fs> end
 zonecfg:zone1> commit
 zonecfg:zone1> exit

special is the directory from the global zone to mount; dir is the mount point within the non-global zone.

If adding a CD, while in the “fs” configuration mode, change the options to the following:

zonecfg:zone1:fs> add options [ro,nodevices]

A reboot of the non-global zone (init 6 within the zone) is necessary for the changes to be visible.

All filesystems configured for the zone can be listed as follows:

# zonecfg -z zone1
zonecfg:zone1> info fs
fs:
        dir: /depot
        special: /depot
        raw not specified
        type: lofs
        options: []

To remove the filesystem from the non-global zone, do the following:

 # zonecfg -z zone1
 zonecfg:zone1> remove fs dir=/mnt
 zonecfg:zone1> commit
 zonecfg:zone1> exit

Again, a reboot is necessary for the reconfiguration to take effect.
