    Gratulation!

    I have also tried the CentOS example and it works for me.
    I have created a small howto setup LX and the VM, see
    http://www.napp-it.org/doc/downloads/zones.pdf

    I have not used SmartOS in the past so the concept was at first not
    clear to me.
    What I must say is, that this seems to be a real killer innovation for
    OmniOS as you can run OmniOS as a very solid ZFS filer with additional
    Linux services running directly especially with preconfigured services
    as a container where you only need a copy and import/run after some
    small editings of a config file like shares or nics.

    What I will add to the current concept in napp-it is deploying
    containers together with the config file (zone.cfg) like it is done on
    ESXi where you can simply provide a folder with the VM that you can
    simply import and run. An option is that one deploy LX images as a
    folder imagefile with the zone config file within and the container with
    the OS as a subfolder.
