Certain file systems require devices with specific tags. Please correct me
if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that I can use a Zvol for any
filesystem.

Thanks,

The VTOC on a solaris disk is managed by the disk driver.

Since there's no disk driver managing the zvol, there's no VTOC (unless
you put one one there yourself).  Conceptually it's very similar to a
SVM metadevice.

How would you want to use tags on a zvol?  They're almost completely
unused by the system anyway.  Presumably a zvol (and other zfs objects)
could have a property that served the same purpose.
