zfs create -V 10G test/testvol newfs /dev/zvol/rdsk/test/testvol Or format the zvol however you need to for veritas, the above would create ufs, the key being you pass it the device rather than mount the file system; this would in theory then allow you to snapshot, locally, the volume etc. Check out the below article: http://www.markround.com/archives/37-ZFS-as-a-volume-manager.html "While browsing the ZFS man page recently, I made an interesting discovery: ZFS can export block devices from a zpool, which means you can separate "ZFS the volume manager" from "ZFS the filesystem". This may well be old news to many; however I haven't seen many references to this on the web, so thought I'd post a quick blog update.
