Lin, Can you take a look at the problem that Bill describes here: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=81928&tstart=0
plus what he describes in this mail and the subsequent one I've attached? There are a number of places in the zfs grub plugin where the ERR_FSYS_CORRUPT error is returned, leading to the Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure message that Bill reports. Do you have any thoughts about what might be causing this particular instance of an inconsistent filesystem structure?
