Hey Richard,
I believe 6844090 would be a candidate for an s10 backport.
The behavior of 6844090 worked nicely when I replaced a disk of the same
physical size even though the disks were not identical.
Another flexible storage feature is George's autoexpand property (Nevada
build 117), where yo

I frist create lun by "stmfadm create-lu ", and add-view , so the initiator
can see the created lun.
Now I use "zfs snapshot" to create snapshot for the created lun.
What can I do to make the snapshot is accessed by the Initiator? Thanks.
