looks like my mistake - or simply a shortcut that made statement 
imprecise.

it should be added:

ZFS can be installed on partitions and share disks with other things, but 
the performance will be bad.

ZFS - contrary to every other filesystem that use FreeBSD disk I/O 
scheduler - does it's own I/O scheduling, so it assumes it's the only user 
of physical drive.

if both non-ZFS and ZFS filesystem will share the same disk AT THE SAME 
TIME - there will be a lots of thrashing.
