ZFS will try to enable write cache if whole disks is given.
Additionally keep in mind that outer region of a disk is much faster.
And it's portable. If you use whole disks, you can export the
pool from one machine and import it on another. There's no way
to export just one slice and leave the others behind...
I got the impression that the export command exported the contents
of the pool, not the underlying physical structure (minus the rust ;o).
Seems that I was wrong.
This also implies that the disk that receives the exported pool
has to be the same size as the exported disk, or can it be bigger ???
