Responding to several of the questions in this thread. First, adding a raw "disk" device is useful for some applications, for example MapR, which require and expect to have one or more "disk" devices dedicated for their use.
As far as configuring a zvol into a zone, there is a bug in the sdev devlink generator which currently prevents you from using a zvol via the zonecfg 'add device' configuration code. You need to delegate a dataset into the zone, as was previously suggested, and then you can create zvols inside the delegated dataset. If you are using an lx branded zone, then you must reboot the zone for all of the zvol disk devices to show up properly throughout the lx emulation.
