[ xxxxx@xxxxx.com 12/03/2003 (from zones bugid 1001019)]

An internal user asks: 
 > - I have renamed my directory that all my zones lived in.. to reduce
 > confusion (on my side) ... I tried to go into zonecfg and re-set the

Clearly an RFE.  This can probably be safely executed on a halted zone (with state "installed") by moving the zonepath around and changing the zonepath registered with zonecfg(1m) atomically with respect to zoneadm boot/ready/uninstall, which probably requires  some locking strategy but little else.

Nice to have, but doesn't limit the usefulness of zones.
