My apologies to Robert for the double message, mis-addressed the first
reply to him instead of the list.

I tried again yesterday evening by recompiling RELENG_8 and -CURRENT. I
somehow managed to boot into RELENG_8 the first time, but after that this
error comes up:
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
ZFS: can't read object set for dataset ldd
Can't find root filesystem - giving up
ZFS: unexpected object set type ldd
ZFS: unexpected object set type ldd

boot:

boot: status

config:

tank ONLINE
raidz1 ONLINE
ad4p3 ONLINE
ad6p3 ONLINE

ad10p3 ONLINE
After recompiling world/kernel for -CURRENT I get roughly the same error:
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
ZFS: can't read object set for dataset 30
Can't find root filesystem - giving up
ZFS: unexpected object set type 0

I've seen no mention of gang blocks in the errors so far.
Kind regards,
