Sorry, this does not work. 

root at newserv:~ # mdconfig -a -t vnode /dev/zvol/zroot/vm/mail/disk0
mdconfig: /dev/zvol/zroot/vm/mail/disk0 is not a regular file

There must be some other way.

Indeed, I can dd the volume to a regular file:

dd if=/dev/zvol/zroot/vm/mail/disk0 of=/var/tmp/rawimage bs=1m conv=sparse

and then work with the /var/tmp/rawimage (I can mdconfig it) but it's a waste
of disk space.
