Spectra Logic and iXSystems both experienced many problems with this.
The worst is a deadlock that can be triggered simply by pulling a
drive from a redundant pool when there exists a zvol anywhere in the
system (see https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4998 for a quick way to
reproduce). Fixing it correctly would likely require far more time
than I have available. I just want the bugs to go away. See that
same code review for a change to make the feature optional.
