yeah it does something funky that I did not expect, zpool seems like its taking slice 0 of that emc lun rather than taking the whole device...

so when I did create that lun, I formated disk and it looked like this:
format> verify

Primary label contents:

Volume name = <        >
ascii name  = <DGC-RAID5-0324 cyl 51198 alt 2 hd 256 sec 16>
pcyl        = 51200
ncyl        = 51198
acyl        =    2
nhead       =  256
nsect       =   16
Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks
  0       root    wm       0 -    63      128.00MB    (64/0/0)       262144
  1       swap    wu      64 -   127      128.00MB    (64/0/0)       262144
  2     backup    wu       0 - 51197      100.00GB    (51198/0/0) 209707008
  3 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  4 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  5 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  6        usr    wm     128 - 51197       99.75GB    (51070/0/0) 209182720
  7 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0

that is the reason when I was trying to replace the other disk zpool did take slice 0 of that disk which was 128mb and treated it as pool rather than taking the whole disk or slice 2 or whatever it does with normal devices... I have that system connected to EMC clarion and I am using powerpath software from emc to do multipathing and stuff... ehh.. will try to replace that device old internal disk with this one and lets see how that will work.

thanks so much for help.

Are you sure you've allocated as large a LUN as you thought initially?
Perhaps ZFS is doing something funky with it; does putting UFS on it
show a large filesystem or a small one?
