 Well, from your zone you can\'t even write as root into these directories, but you need them listed in fonts.conf, because they may contain fonts. Same as with fc-cache of Solaris (/usr/bin/fc-cache).

So I don\'t see what\'s wrong.

Why are you running fc-cache inside a zone ?

 Actually, your question is my question and the problem.

One of the ways to setup a non-globabl zone, and this is probably the most typical, is to mount /usr from the global zone in the non-global zones with lofs. The mount is -ro in the non-global zone.

I installed a package in a non-global zone and pkg-get installed fontconfig as a dependency. Therefore, I suspect that fc-cache was started from postinstall. After running at very heavy cpu utilization and spitting out error after error, I finally got the process to die.

You can use /usr/bin/zonename, if it exists, to determine the zonename. I believe this is correct, but you may want to confirm, zonename returns \'global\' when run from the global zone. If the zonename binary exists and does not return \'global\', you may want to send a message that fc-cache was not run and, if needed, can be run with the init script.
