Are there any?  I certainly don't consider /dev/dsk/cWtXdYsZ one of them.
(Having once been bitten by an errant "boot -r" on Solaris 2, like Rick Kelly)

If we're going to consider radical changes, why not go whole-hog and
implement Veritas' VxVM and its abstraction away of the physical device layer?

Far better that than these repeated System V-ficiation attempts by people
from that background, like Mr. Woods.  I'm with John Nemeth on this one ...
