As Thomas Backman pointed out, this means you won't get self-healing. I don't know if a ZFS mirror performs smarter disk access scheduling than gmirror. Someone oughta measure. ;) I recommend you (Maciej) do what Freddie Cash said: slice your disks into two pieces each - a gmirror'd UFS root, and the rest for ZFS.
