          Yes, you can use ZFS on top of a partition just like other filesystems. When you create the zpool, just do:



          zpool create <poolname> /dev/<path to partition>


          I would not recommend creating multiple partitions, since it will not get you any particularly significant increase in redundancy if they’re all on the same disk.
