couchdb pkg svc fails to start #211
Description
Activity
Unless there is a bug in the package these two things should be unrelated. Nothing in packages should be writing to
/usr, and in any case/usris a read-only mount from the global zone so can't be written to anyway.Package data should be limited to
/opt/localfor package files and/varfor any user-generated data.If the test package I posted on smartos-discuss is still causing errors here then please could you post some more detailed logs and we can take a look at where they may be coming from.
