| 7. Zones residing on top level of the dataset. |
| Reference Sun CR: 6867013/Bug # 15579467 |

| 16. LU operations within the non-global zones fail. |
| 17. All subdirectories on NGZ zonepath that are part of the OS, must be in the same dataset as the zonepath. |
| 18. lucreate fails with mount issues against zones with delegated datasets |
| Reference Sun CR: 7382554/Bug # 17382554 (Fixed in 121430-91 - SPARC and 121431-92 - x86) |
