Creating a partition....???

I have created a pool named earthpool using zpool command. Later I created a file system named earth using zfs command. I changed the mountpoint of earth (file system) using

zfs set mountpoint=/earth earthpool/earth.

Where /earth is a directory created in root using mkdir.

Now, I have a partition with the name earth.

Am I correct in creating the partition ? Below are the details of the result got by using the commands

root@mylodon # zpool create earthpool raidz2 c0t0d0 c1t0d0 c4t0d0 c6t0d0 c7t0d0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c0t3d0 c0t4d0 c0t5d0 c0t6d0 c0t7d0

root@mylodon # zpool list
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
earthpool 10.9T 189K 10.9T 0% ONLINE -

zfs create earthpool/earth

root@mylodon # zfs list

earthpool 224K 8.87T 63.4K /earthpool

htag

HTAG(1) 						User Contributed Perl Documentation						   HTAG(1)

NAME

       htag.pl - Add taglines and sigs to email, news and fidonet messages.

SYNOPSIS

       htag.pl [-t tagfile -c cfgfile] -m msgfile

       htag.pl -f sigfile

       htag.pl -h

DESCRIPTION

       htag.pl is a sigmonster.  It is designed to be extendable in many different ways through its use of plugins.  It might be getting a little
       bit too sentient in its old age though.

       It can be used like this:

       htag.pl -m $1

       $EDITOR $1

       For information on configuration see the sample.htrc file

       To create signature files, it is tedious to have to work out what will and won't line up.  This is why the -f option exists.  Feed it a
       sigfile and it will replace the @[0-9]+[RC]?@ bits with required number of spaces so you can see if you got it right or not.  (You could
       even run it from your favourite editor  e.g. ":! htag.pl -f %" for vim on the current file.)

BUGS

       Inserting a tagline containing "@[0-9]+[RC]?@" has interesting results.

       This documentation is useless.  Use The Source Luke.

FILES

       ~/.htrc
	   Config file
