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.
