I know that 9.0 can fix more things that 8.2. But I doubt 9.0 this time
fixed anything as it comes up with pool in readonly state. Maybe
something was fixed by 9.0 or maybe by scrub. I don't care really. The
machine is in production and problem is solved. Anyway I just added a
task to my list to recreate all upgraded pools when this would be available.
I haven't include output for "zpool status" because it was partially
gibberish due to running 8.2 tools with 8.2 lib over 9.0 module. However
as I recall it hasn't pointed any errors.

I known, I know... I just ended up thinking that raising my voice to
inform others of possible flaws and clues even without full data can
help someone to investigate it better. Like this one:
