Solaris support on dynamic lun expansion is coming soon. This feature 
basically works on two sides: disk driver [s]sd detects the LUN size 
changes and the disk consumer (i.e. file system) pulls the trigger to 
change disk label when notified.

The disk driver part changes went into build 90. The ZFS(currently the 
only consumer for this feature) changes will be integrated shortly.
