Virtual Devices (vdevs)
A "virtual device" describes a single device or a collection
of devices organized according to certain performance and
fault characteristics. The following virtual devices are
supported:
disk
A block device, typically located under /dev/dsk. ZFS
[...]
file
A regular file. The use of files as a backing store is
strongly discouraged. It is designed primarily for
experimental purposes, as the fault tolerance of a file
is only as good as the file system of which it is a
part. A file must be specified by a full path.
