It's kind of a chicken and egg thing.

Jim,
Can we get this added to the OpenSolaris events page please?
Presenting OpenSolaris related technical material at important/popular
technical venues, seems like an ideal way to spread the OpenSolaris

Thanks for the help. However "svcadm enable volfs" says there is no such

stopping and starting volmgt. At least every thing is functioning. Thanks.
