When creating partitions with zpool, I found I had quirky behaviors and other distros would not see my pool. I found out the reason why was because I didn't have advanced partitions turned on, and zfs worked without it. On the other systems with support for GPT, however, they could not recognize the partitions. A simple fix would be to note this in the documentation or put a requirement in the configure script to check for the proper partition support in the kernel.
