Ok! So, it is not clear what could happen using /dev/wd2 and then a, b,
e, f, or any other custom slice. Thank you!

Thanks also for this second example. What is confusing to me is that,
while `dk2' is used for ZFS, it still has `type: ffs'. Is ZFS an
alternative to FFS (v1, v2), or is it `above' FFS, sustained by FFS?
