Oh, and for the record, there's no reason for you to break multipath on purpose. Its added redundancy for your system in case a disk loses a particular data path it has a backup. So unless you have a good reason to break multipath (and to be honest, I can't think of any kind of weird scenario where you wouldn't want multipath since you've already got the hardware for it) I would leave it alone.
One thing you should note. If you ever do a disk replacement without powering off the system for a multipath-capable system, after you insert the new disk, but before you actually put it in your zpool, you should run the command "service ix-multipath start" as this will create the signature for your new disk. This info should be in the freenas docs at some point, but I don't believe it is at the moment.
