So after sometime I make the upgrade not to FreeBSD 10 but to FreeBSD 9.3
(it's more easy for me because the server got some jail on FreeBSD 9). 

Since the upgrade everything is fine no more core dumped.

The only point is I lost 2 zfs dataset after the reboot, of course it's the
both dataset give me the core dumped. It's not a big deal for me because
it's only backup. The point is before I upgrade I check the partition with
find/md5, zfs scrub etc... and everything seem fine.

Anyway thanks.
