Sure, however the original query was about LU in Solaris 10. There are far more effective avenues to resolve issues found in Solaris 10 than posting on OpenSolaris forums/lists. Even more so if you have a valid support contract. That's all I was trying to point out. While it's true that someone *may* get an answer on this list/forum about LU (or some other OpenSolaris forum/list), it's by no means guaranteed since LU is off-topic for OpenSolaris because LU is *not* open. I personally believe in trying to point people in directions that have greater chances of actually producing a solution. Posting on these lists about LU (or any non-open technology that's in SXCE) or Solaris 10 issues isn't at the top of the list of ways to effectively produce a solution to those problems. I didn't say anyone couldn't post these sorts of issues, by all means feel free. As long as your expectation is set appropriately, which is that you may or may not actually get anything useful by doing so because S10 issues are off-topic and issues about non-open technology such as LU are as well. Just trying to be helpful, that's all. Cheers, -- Glenn
