zdb: can''t open ttt: Value too large for defined data type.

And another question about create zpool, what''s the difference between
creating zpool with slice 2 or whole disk? and which one is the recommended one?

Thanks,
Ming

And for the same zpool, the same issue observed when I tried to import this
zpool, and I encountered core dump also:
bash-3.00# zpool import ttt
internal error: Value too large for defined data type
Abort (core dumped)
