A mechanism that enables automatic data sharing across different boot environments is available in this release. These shared directories are stored in the rpool/VARSHARE file system that is mounted at /var/share. Placement of shared data in the /var directory reduces the amount of space needed for all boot environments.
For example:
# ls /var/share audit cores crash mail
The /var/share file system generally requires no administration, with the exception of ensuring that the /varcomponents do not fill the root file system.
Symbolic links are automatically created from /var to the /var/sharecomponents listed above for compatibility purposes. For more information, see datasets(5).
