Advantage might be portability and the availability of partition names. For ZFS it's best to use whole disks (and multiple of these). If you want to use a partition, it doesn't really matter if it is a slice (with disklabel) or wedge (with GPT). -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
