Swapping to a > zvol didn't work, but cgd layered fine as I remember it. I'm now thinking, would it make sense to do the layering the other way around, i.e. have cgd on top of a zvol? I wonder if there would be any resilience (and possibly performance) advantage to having zfs directly access the hard drives (which, being old and bought off ebay, I don't quite trust) rather than go through cgd.
