And you don't suffer from a big disk performance degradation with that?
If you don't have I/O load it doesn't matter but I need usual I/O 
performance so I give each jail its own partition (GPT partitions).
But I think some good guys are looking for fixing the performance issue 
like they already solved the nullfs problem :) Thanks again for that!

So it was fine to have the stuff you suggested in the future.
