8.2-RELEASE is highly unstable with ZFS in my opinion. For example, my
system with 48 GB of RAM would hang or crash for no apparent reason in
random intervals. Upgrading in September fixed most of it, except 1
random hang possibly related to NFS, and a hang when renaming snapshots
with zvols [new problem after 8.2-RELEASE, PR 161968]. The renaming
snapshot with zvols hang seems fixed since update again in February.
Still unresolved though is that restarting nfsd makes nfsd hang until
reboot. I don't know if 8.2-RELEASE had that problem.
You should consider an update with csup. Make sure you test and monitor
after the upgrade, in case some other funny issues come up, like my
restarting nfsd issue. But of course I chose that over random hangs and
panics.
And one word of advice: If you want to upgrade your pools to v28, I
think you should consider recreating your pools as v28 rather than
upgrading. There are some side effects to upgrading, such as logs that
can't be removed.
Well... I upgraded one machine and got kern/164400 immidiately. So it
looks like I'm stuck.
