OK, then one other thing to try is to create a new directory, e.g. /mydev,
and create in it symbolic links to only those drives that are part of your
pool.
Based on your label output, I see:
path='/dev/ad6'
path='/dev/ad4'
path='/dev/ad16'
path='/dev/ad18'
path='/dev/ad8'
path='/dev/ad10'
I'm guessing /dev has many more entries in, and the zpool import command
is hanging in its attempt to open each one of those.
So try doing:
# ln -s /dev/ad6 /mydev/ad6
...
# ln -s /dev/ad10 /mydev/ad10
This way, you can issue "zpool import -d /mydev" and the import code
should *only* see the devices that are part of the pool.
