Hi Jan, I tried out what you say long ago, but zfs fails on pool creation.
This is, when I issue the zpool create trunk /dev/dsk/c9d0p3 the command fails saying that there's no such file or directory. And the disk is correct!! What I think is that /dev/dsk/c9d0p3 is a symbolic name used by FSWpart, and it's not a valid device name for zpool.
