Well I think I see two issues, firstly I fell upon a broken "zoneadm
move" within Solaris 10 and secondly there really is no up to date and
modern maillist or forum for Solaris people.

Here is the solution to number 1 :

http://serverfault.com/questions/526601/how-to-move-a-solaris-container-from-one-zfs-filesystem-to-another-on-the-same-s


So I am going to call up a few friends I know who have money and time
and heavy duty datacenter resources and just start up a new maillist
or joomla based service we can all use.  If Oracle sends a letter like
they did to wesunsolve, then I tell them to go to hell.

Anyone interested in getting involved .. drop me an email.
