   Example 3–2 Creating a Boot Environment and Merge File Systems (Command-Line Interface)

   
   

   In this example, the /usr/opt file system is combined with its parent file system /usr.

   # lucreate -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0:ufs -m /usr:/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s1:ufs \ -m /usr/opt:merged:ufs

   When creation of the new boot environment is complete, it can be upgraded and activated (made bootable).
