ZVOLs

When I create a zfs volume, a block device is created and that is discovered by diskutil and if there is a mountable filesystem there, it will be mounted.

When I send/recv that pool (or rather the parent fs) including that volume, to another pool. that copy on the receiving end also creates a block device, and will get mounted.

Is there a way to disable the creation of a block device for a ZVOL? Or a way to tell diskutil to NOT mount that ZVOL?
