Help my zone ate my harddisk

Now that Solaris GA/FCS is out and I and others have began testing Zones on full systems zones have exploded in size, I had one zone that ate 3+ GB of disk space, if you have noticed this, I have found the solution, it’s a short 3 lines that brings your zone back down to previous sizes.

add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/opt
end

what does it do? I know you are asking, it makes the zone share /opt with the global zone so you don’t install copies of all the programs that are installed there.
