Hi all,

we want to use ZFS ( raidz2 without spares ) for store big amount of
data on it. It's just a mirror so we don't give at damn if zfs is
experimental ;-)

I created some pool with the command:
# zpool create x1 raidz2 aacd0 aacd1 aacd2 aacd3 aacd4 aacd5

It shows up correctly:
# zpool status
  pool: x1
  state: ONLINE
  scrub: none requested
  config:

	NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	x1          ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz2    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    aacd0   ONLINE       0     0     0
	    aacd1   ONLINE       0     0     0
	    aacd2   ONLINE       0     0     0
	    aacd3   ONLINE       0     0     0
	    aacd4   ONLINE       0     0     0
	    aacd5   ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

]# zpool list 
NAME                    SIZE    USED   AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH     ALTROOT
x1                      816G    230K    816G     0%  ONLINE     -

All is fine till I reboot. The pool is just disappearing :-/
Here are the relevant config stuff:

# grep "zfs" /etc/rc.conf 
zfs_enable="YES"

# cat /boot/loader.conf 
geom_mirror_load="YES"
zfs_load="YES"
vm.kmem_size_max="512M"
vm.kmem_size="512M"
vfs.zfs.zil_disable=1


After reboot the module is loaded:

# kldstat | grep zfs
 2    1 0xffffffff80bc7000 f5a40    zfs.ko

But the pool is loast:
# zpool list
no pools available


Some more infos about the system:
