Hi Terry,

I am no ZFS kernel-code dude or anything, but it is well known that =
losing the ZIL can corrupt things pretty bad with ZFS.

You may want to skim the archives at OpenSolaris ZFS discuss =
<zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org>

All in all, if I was in your situation I would give a whirl at =
installing OpenSolaris and going from there, being sure not to upgrade =
the pool version past what is supported by FreeBSD and going from there.

Unfortunately we all find ourselves in a bit of a pickle with ZFS right =
now with the Oracle acquisition of Sun.  For myself, I would stick with =
deploying on FreeBSD but I think its going to be FBSD 9.1 before its =
going to be truly ready for production.

Just my 2-cents.

- Mike
