Hello,

I've got a new server and I installed FreeBSD 10 on it. I have a problem 
to create a new zfs pool. The command stalls on IO wait (D state / 
zio->io_cv).

The device for the pool is a 1.7T partition (index 4) of a gmirror device.

root@daedalus:~ # uname -a

root@daedalus:~ # gmirror status

So the blocked command is the following:

There is no activity on disks:

I have also a FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 setup the same way and it works 
like a charm. (but not the same hardware on this one)

Actually, I'm trying to zeroing the partition, we never know :-)

Anyone has an idea ?

Thanks,
