I noticed my VPS takes a bit when I've done a hard reboot, but not when I let it go through all the nice sync, even though there aren't any console messages. I imagine something high-up in the kernel is asking the ZFS for the first block of a file, and only at that point does all the paperwork processing for consistency check come into play, so there are no messages, just a pause. -- Randal L.
