I think this could be the problem:

<name>ntfs/Lokaler Datentr0/00ger</name>

Two of the disks are NTFS formatted. After fdisk these disks, i can
create the zpool.

It would be nice if i can also create a zpool on these disk without
first fdisk/format these. Or, maybe an error message which points me to
the problem.

Cheers,

Axel
