>Description:
	

Upon reboot, zvols disappear on zfs-on-root systems (not tested on
non-zfs-on-root systems)

a zfs volinit cures this problem. zfs volinit is safe to run multiple times

Also see some discussion at

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-July/009589.html

>How-To-Repeat:

Create zvol (zfs create -V 1g zpool/zvol)

reboot

see that /dev/zvol has gone
