[OpenIndiana-discuss] Boot environments blow away config settings on reboot

[Jason J. W. Williams]

Hi Guys,

I'm having an issue where if I do the following steps, the result of
step 2 disappears after a reboot:

1.) pkg install <package_1>
2.) Install LDAP config files into /var/ldap
3.) pkg install <package_2>

The issue appears to be that two new boot environments are created in
steps 1 and 2. After doing steps 1-3 everything looks fine, then
reboot, the last boot environment becomes active and the files in
/var/ldap disappear. What we're doing is configuring a server using
Chef. Any pointers would be very appreciated.
