I trimmed your zpool status output a bit.
Are those two the same device? I'm barely familiar with solaris
partitioning and labels... what's the difference between a slice and a
partition?
In this context, "partition" is an fdisk partition and "slice" is a
SMI or EFI labeled slice. The SMI or EFI labeling tools (format,
prtvtoc, and ftmhard) do not work on partitions. So when you
choose to use ZFS on a partition, you have no tools other than
fdisk to manage the space. This can lead to confusion... a bad
thing.
So in that context, is the above 'zpool status' snippet a "bad thing
to do"?
