I, too, am not getting it! Wht exactly is the advantage of zero'ing a iSCSI or FC volume? If I put toghether a new storage, there're probably only zeros on the drives anway, or any other pattern, that the manufacturer chose.
What, other than detecting any problematic sectors on the volume, could this be good for? And why only the initial amount and not the subsqeuent ones.
Seems that I could just create a 1 GB iSCSI Volume and have it zero'ed and afterwards I go ahead and grow it to the size I initially wanted?
