Agreed - I haven't followed the thread from the beginning but the subject clearly specifies S10U5. > >> Fyi, LU is not maintained anymore in Solaris Express/Nevada because at >> one point it shall be replaced.

There are people working actively on fixing LU bugs for S10. I believe large fixes will be integrated into s10u8. Filing bugs doesn't guarantee they will ever be fixed. But if you have a support contract, you can still get those bugs escalated to get them fixed especially if they are critical for your production. -- Renaud
