Everything is wrong with gstat in this case.

First of all, this is what's wrong - 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227465 , and gstat 
required zvols to be volmode=geom to use it this way.

Second, volmode=dev is supposed to be more performing.

Finally, I find hilarious that first answer in the dtrace@ was "don't 
use dtrace".

Eugene.
