AFAIK rdsk is a character device while dsk is a block device so
normally you would do newfs /dev/rsdk/... and then mount /dev/dsk/...
but since zfs handles raw devices (rdsk), block devices (dsk), and
slices equally well I think it is not important but by convention you
always handle zfs raw devices if you follow the recommendation - zfs
should always be given the full device so rdsk.
