global# zonecfg -z my-zone
zonecfg:my-zone> add fs
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set dir=/dev/CA
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set special=/full_path_of_zone/DEV_CA
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set type=lofs
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> add options rw
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> end
global# zonecfg -z my-zone
zonecfg:my-zone> add fs
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set dir=/dev/CA
zonecfg:my-zone:fs> set special=/full_path_of_zone/DEV_CA
