My first hunch would be to unmount the tank pool from /tank, and check the permissions of the /tank directory. You'll see behavior like this if the directory on which an NFS-exported file system will be mounted is not world-readable before the mount. This message posted from opensolaris.org

One nit ... the parity computation is 'in the noise' as far as the CPU goes, but it tends to flush the CPU caches (or rather, replace useful cached data with parity), which affects application performance. Modern CPU architectures (including x86/SPARC) provide instructions which allow data to

The current SES enumerator doesn't support parsing AES FC descriptors (which are required to correlate disks with the Solaris abstraction). So we get the PSU/fan/bay information, but don't know which disk is which. It should be pretty straightforward to do, though we may need to make sure that

The stack trace makes it clear that it was ZFS that crashed. (The _cmntrap stack frame indicates that a trap happened; in this case it's an access to bad memory by the kernel. The previous stack frame indicates that ZFS was active.) Now, it may not have been ZFS which caused the panic --
