Answering myself, finally looked at the zdb source code, and I see the results
running on a live pool are not consistent, hence the -L option. OK, so I'm
going to trust the scrub to tell me if there are errors, and as far as I can
tell, my pools are clean now. But is was scary creating the mirror from a pool
with checksum errors. I think there could be some more verbosity about what is
going on, or to give the user some options when checksum errors are found in
the process of silvering up a mirror for the first time. Just a comment.
Thanks,
Jon
