When file systems are mounted from within a zone, the nodevices option applies. For example, if a zone is granted access to a block device (/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7) and a raw device (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7) corresponding to a UFS file system, the file system is automatically mounted nodevices when mounted from within a zone. This rule does not apply to mounts specified through a zonecfg configuration.
Options for mounting file systems in non-global zones are described in the following table. Procedures for these mounting alternatives are provided in Configuring, Verifying, and Committing a Zone and Mounting File Systems in Running Non-Global Zones.
Any file system type not listed in the table can be specified in the configuration if it has a mount binary in /usr/lib/fstype/mount.
