I was able to do this using gmirror in single-user mode, but don't know if ZFS would allow me to do this? Have you tried this?

Thanks!
As far as I'm aware:
Code:
# zpool create myzfs mirror /disk1 /disk4
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
mirror contains devices of different sizes
It will only use the space of the smallest size. I don't know of any other way for slicing them, sorry
