This was added recently because ZFS can take a while to mount large configs. Consoles would appear to freeze after the initial boot-up messages. 10k filesystems could easily take several minutes to mount. Eric Taylor is working on parallel mounting for ZFS which will speed up things considerably, although his changes currently do not remove the messages. Perhaps the reading/mounting messages should be only displayed if, say, a minute has passed and we're not done? I agree things should not be needlessly chatty, but I also believe that processes which run a long time (especially when affecting boot time) should provide feedback to users to let them know the box isn't dead.
