Sorry t clarify, Michelle I do believe your tail of events, just I
meant that it reads like a tale as its so unusual.
I also agree that there probably at this point of time should be more
zfs tools written for the few situations that do happen when things
get broken.
Although I still standby my opinion I consider ZFS a huge amount more
robust than UFS, UFS always felt like I only had to sneeze the wrong
way and I would get issues. There was even one occasion simply
installing the OS on its defaults, gave me corrupted data on UFS (9.0
release had nasty UFS journalling bug which corrupted data without any
power cuts etc.).
In future I suggest you use mirror if the data matters. I know it
costs more in capacity for redundancy but in todays era of large
drives its the only real sensible option.
On the drive failures you have clearly been quite unlucky, and the
other stuff is unusual.
Best of luck
