Since the problem isn't consistent (it can appear on some files but not others), I modified zfstest to take a pathname, rather than have the pathname hard-coded. Using this, I found an example file that works with the patch but not with the old ZFS code: pjdesk% ./zfstest.old /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols /dev/ad0p3 |less ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable can't lookup pjdesk% ./zfstest.old /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols /dev/ad0p3 |less ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable can't lookup pjdesk% ./zfstest.old /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols /dev/ad0p3 |less ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable can't lookup pjdesk% ./zfstest /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols /dev/ad0p3 |less ^?ELF^B^A^A ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^A^@>^@^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@p ... pjdesk% ./zfstest /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols /dev/ad0p3 | cmp - /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols pjdesk% ./zfstest /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols /dev/ad0p3 | cmp - /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols pjdesk% ./zfstest.old /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols /dev/ad0p3 | cmp - /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols stdin /boot/kernel.old/iwn6000fw.ko.symbols differ: char 1, line 1 pjdesk% This was tested on an 8-STABLE system at r225392.
