Hi,

Now Im really confused. 

I want in some way label my drives so the setup is independent of physical setup. But Jason doesn't
seem to like glabel at all. :D

And then he says that you should use gpart instead

But this seems to be in conflict with the common knowledge that zfs should
be used on whole disks, not partitions!

Any pointers?
