I can't address your issue at hand, but I would point out that having a raidz/raidz2 consisting of more than 9 vdevs is a BAD IDEA (tm). All SUN documentation recommends using groups from 3 to 9 vdevs in size. There are known cases where using more vdevs than recommended causes performance degradation and more importantly, parity computation problems which can result in crashes and potential data loss. In your case, I would have the pool built as a group of 2 x 6-disk raidz.
