ZFS and Glabel

[Reed A. Cartwright]

I currently have a raidz2 pool that uses whole disks: da6, da7, etc.
I want to label these using glabel and have zfs mount them using the
labels.  This way, if an HDD fails, I will be able to easily replace
the drive.

So my questions are a follows:

1) Can glabel be used with zfs and raw disks?  Should it be?

2) Can I add a glabel after the disks have been placed in a pool?

3) How would I do this without losing data?  E.g.

glabel label /dev/da6 storage1
glabel ...
zpool export storage
zpool import -d /dev/label storage

4) Is there a better alternative that allows me the keep the data on
the drives and relabel them?
