zfs: Use wholedisk or not?

[Simun Mikecin]

Is it safe to create zpool using whole disks instead of partitioning (making a GPT partition)?
I know that using whole disks gives the benefit that zfs will to try to enable disk write cache on
it.
But I'm scared of what would happen if I plug such a disk on some other machine, that runs some
other OS (Windows for example) since that disk will not have a valid MBR.
Will it try to restore a valid MBR and destroy a zpool in the process?
