Sorry, I was really vague. I mean this driver:

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/device_drivers/projects/serveraid/

I just thought the issue would be with this driver as it's unsupported,
and as far as I can tell, relatively new.

Hmm, that is quite old, could that really be it? I tried the workaround,
by appending this to /kernel/drv/sd.conf:

sd-config-list="IBM     ServeRAID", "unsupported-hack";
unsupported-hack=1,0x4,0,0,0,0,0;

and did a reconfigure reboot. But the same thing happens:

# metadb -af -c 4 c3t1d0s4
metadb: ibm-30.acm.uiuc.edu: c3t1d0s4: overlaps with device in
metadevice state database

# metadb
      flags           first blk       block count
   a m  pc luo        16              8192            /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s4
   a    pc luo        8208            8192            /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s4
   a    pc luo        16400           8192            /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s4
   a    pc luo        24592           8192            /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s4

and `iostat -Ei` is the same as it was before.

Also, I forgot to mention before, this is all on Solaris 10 update 4.
