You mean, the backing files ("path /dev/zvol/whatever", for example), =
right?
I thought about it. Problem is, while it makes it somewhat easier in =
very simple
situations, it's not very useful in real life - ctld (or CTL) has no =
information what
the permissions should be, should the file be fully or thin provisioned =
(in other
words, whether it supposed to be filled with zeroes, truncated to a =
correct length,
or perhaps it's a ZVOL with reservation set), etc. And you don't want =
it to create
files when you make a typo in path name.
