 This
 > GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot add disk zvol/tank0/vol0 to mirror0 (error=45).
 
 seems to be triggered by the following code in sys/geom/mirror/g_mirror.c:
 
 error = g_getattr("GEOM::candelete", disk->d_consumer, &i);
 if (error != 0)
         goto fail;
 
 plus the fact that ZFS zvol does the following:
 case BIO_GETATTR:
 case BIO_DELETE:
 default:
         g_io_deliver(bp, EOPNOTSUPP);
         break;
 
 Perhaps, the gmirror code should be more flexible with respect to EOPNOTSUPP
 from g_getattr?
