Hi
I installed s10 FCS,
created one local zone.

I then ran patchadd 118666-01
it ran successfully and there were no errors from patchadd
But when I looked at /var/sadm/patch/118666-01/log in the local zone ( not the global) I see:
rm: /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_02 not removed: Read-only file system
ln: cannot create /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06: Read-only file system
ln: cannot create /usr/bin/javaws: Read-only file system
rm: /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_02 not removed: Read-only file system
ln: cannot create /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_02/jdk1.5.0: Read-only file system
ln: cannot create /usr/jdk/latest/jdk1.5.0_02: Read-only file system

Installation of <SUNWj5rt> was successful.

Now as of s10 and zones project, patches can no longer make modifications to

Now the problem stems from the following

118666-01/SUNWj5cfg/install/patch_postinstall

it modifies /usr/jdk/jdk<version> symbolic link
by doing an ln on /usr/jdk

Now in a zone that is of type sparse, certain directoires are mounted lofs from the global

/usr is one of these

so when I run patchadd 118666-01 on an s10 system with a sparse zone
the patch_postinstall tries to modify /usr/jdk and fails with above errors

personally I am unsure of how best to fix this issue,
I am adding david Comay from zones team and Tim Knitter from solaris patch tools to the interest list in order to get some feedback

At the patch is 62M in size please get it from the patchpipeline
http://sunsoftpatch.sfbay/patchstatus/

just login using ldap user-id ie 144906
then enter patch-id at top left and then under the download section in left hand frame, select download patch.


regards
Enda
