I've done chmod -R 700 /zones/chili but it wont let me install the flar image.
manually i'm able to create files and directories in /zone/chili
suggestions are appriciated.
regards,

It might be connected to the ZFS configuration.
When installing the zone / fills up. After removing some files i had enough room to install the zone.
after installing the zone i logged in and created a 1gb file. a df some a increase in used space on /
my storage pool is on c5t1d0s2
zfs pool look like this;
[root@lapland] zones $ zfs list
