Just want to verify, if I have say, 1 160GB disk, can I format it so that the

the rest of the disk zfs?  Or even better yet, for testing purposes make two 
60GB partitions out of the rest of it and make them a *mirror*?  Or do I have 
to give zfs the entire disk?

yes you can do that and many of us do exactly that on our laptops.

I have even done the two slices in the VTOC as sides of the ZFS mirror.

Though on a 4200rpm disk that is REALLY bad for performance of writes :-)
