There are two caveats, though:
* Before SXCR b43, you'll need the fix from CR 6405330 so the zvol is added
after a reboot. The fix hasn't been backported to S10 U2 (yet?), so it
is equally affected.
* A Live Upgrade comments the zvol entry in /etc/vfstab, so you (sort of)
loose swap after an upgrade ;-(
