Hi,
There is ( quite literally ) nothing in the /var/adm/messages.
It is 0 size. syslog is configured correctly.
There is no evidence of flakiness in /var/adm/messages.*
After the 32 minute delay the zpool status is all good.
pool: tank
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
tank ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz ONLINE 0 0 0
c0t13d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c0t14d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Francois' suggestion for "export NOINUSE_CHECK=1" did the trick for
format.
It also takes care of the zpool create delay too.
Though I would imagine this setting is quite dangerous
as it went ahead and destroyed metadb info without warning.. ( on a 3rd
disk in raidz )
Thanks
Peter

Is there anything in /var/adm/messages? This sounds like some flakey
hardware causing I/O retries. After you create the pool, is it usable
in any sense of the word? Does 'zpool status' show any errors after
running a scrub?
