Linux and Solaris are Converging but Not the Way You Imagined
In case you haven't been paying attention, Linux is in a mad dash to copy everything that made Solaris 10 amazing when it launched in 2005. Everyone has recognized the power of Zones, ZFS and DTrace but licensing issues and the sheer effort required to implement the technologies has made it a long process.
Cloning zones in Solaris 10 6/06
I googled for "Cloning Solaris Zones" and found lots of documentation on the zoneadm clone feature. I started to follow the howtos and hit a brick wall... my zoneadm doesn't know how to clone. Deeper digging shows that the documentation on Sun's site was for Solaris Express- Sun's bleeding edge version of OpenSolaris- Can I say "How useless!"
