Sorry, yes, you did get the whole slice overwritten. Most people just add a "count=10" or something similar, to overwrite the beginning of the drive, but your invocation would overwrite the whole thing. If the disk is going to be part of whole-disk zpool, I like to make sure there is not an old VTOC-style partition table on there. That can be done either via some "format -e" commands, or with "fdisk -E", to put an EFI label on there. Anyway, I agree with the desire for "zpool" to be able to do this itself, with less possibility of human error in partitioning, etc. Glad to hear there's already an RFE filed for it.
