Uhm, here's the quote from the FAQ:

| What can I do if ZFS file system panics on every boot?
|
| ZFS is designed to survive arbitrary hardware failures through the
| use of redundancy (mirroring or RAID-Z). Unfortunately, certain
| failures in non-replicated configurations can cause ZFS to panic
| when trying to load the pool. This is a bug, and will be fixed in
| the near future [...]

I don't think we would consider this acceptable for Linux file
systems...
