Yep, works fine.

Makes sense.  I assume that unless you are actually using swap or dump, 
no space is actually used (other than the zfs filesystem overhead) - is 
that correct?

I'm now coming up with a mad scheme involving ZFS boot, a USB disk, 
string and prayer to enable me to get rid of the old UFS root & swap 
slices on my root disk and switch over to UFS :-)
