The only reporting of errors I noted was when I was trying a persistent
broken mirror for back-ups - I'd peel off a pool vdev and send it offsite,
with the newly-onsite vdev being put back online. While ZFS was able to deal
with this for a short time - maybe a day - it started spewing checksum errors
if the vdev was brought back after a week, which is my normal rotation. This,
however, was an issue with OpenZFS itself, and the problem was identical
regardless of whether I was doing it under Linux or FreeBSD. I've since given
up on the idea and I'm shipping self-contained pools offsite instead of pool
elements.
