No. It will only work properly for journaling UFS if UFS is placed
directory on gjournal provider. You configured slices and several
pratitions on one gjournal provider, which simply cannot work, as
one UFS file system has to talk to one gjournal provider.

It might be a bit hard to tell, but it could be at least better
documented.
