AFIK, zfs in -CURRENT can do this.  -CURRENT runs fairly well[1],
if you catch it at the right time.  Not sure if/when the MFC is planned.

There might be something in geom(8) which could do this, as well,
but I do not know.


[1] YMMV, obviously.  The one box I have on -CURRENT is not heavily
loaded and not filled with cutting-edge technology.  The 12-March
snapshot of 7 wouldn't have zfs, though (I think?)
