"If some LUNs exposed to ZFS are not protected by NVRAM, then this
tuning can lead to data loss or application level corruption.  However
the ZFS pool integrity itself is NOT compromised by this tuning."

your disk didn't reorder writes and uberblock was updated before new
blocks were written? Will ZFS go the the previous blocks when the newest
uberblock points at corrupted data?
