You may want to check some of the past postings to this list as I believe what you are seeing has already been discussed already. If I remember correctly this is a "feature" of zfs and is designed to protect the integrity of the data on the zfs file system.

Played over Xmas a bit with ZFS on mirrored USB sticks. Which was fun.... When I pulled both sticks without doing any unmount, the filesystem seemed to be still there, all in cache of course. I even could open a file in vi, but when I then tried to save the file, I had expected a failure, but not that the Solaris kernel would crash. I realize this is not what ZFS was designed for, but I wondered if the same would happen when a normal disk fails (on a non mirrored config). Take note, that in this case the ZFS filesystem was not the device with the OS. See below the log from /var/log/messages.
