No, it doesn't. ZFS works a bit differently. ZFS operate on pools, not
really on partitions. One ZFS file system can span multiple
disks/partitions. I'm not yet sure how to implement it, so it is
intuitive, but I also haven't spend much time thinking about it. We
needed UFS and that is what I implemented. It took me much more time
than I expected anyway:)
