It appears that during the boot process, major 256 is referred to as zvol, sometime during the boot process, it switches to the entry in /etc/name_to_major which refers to major 256 as zfs.
Wouldn't it be better to use a consistent naming convention from boot to multi-user run levels? I ran into this when trying to use a zvol as a metadb repository on U6 (it's still non-functional in U7). Bug # 6838121 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
