Hi

I am looking for guidance on the following zfs setup and error:
- opensolaris 2008.05 running as guest in vmware server - ubuntu host
- system has run flawlessly as an NFS file server for some months now. Single 
zpool (called 'tank'), 2 vdevs each as raid-Z, about 10 filesystems (one of 
them called 'mail')
- after a power surge causing a reboot, opensolaris became unable to mount the 
pool

Using the opensolaris cd as a rescue disk, I discovered a permanent error 
(ZFS-8000-8A) quoting "tank/mail:<0x0>" as the location of the error (that is 
the name of the filesystem itself and not a specific file). The FS contains 
maidirs archives, probably of the order of 10,000 files. 

The pool comes out clean of a scrub.

Googling, I tried to unmount / mount to possibly replay the log (ZIL) in case 
the transactions didn't play through entirely. Same negative result.

Reading http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gbbwl?a=view, there is a case 
mentioning "monkey/dnode:<0x0>" that seems close enough. Is that really the 
case? If so, how do I 'move' the data as the solution proposes?

As you imagine, I'd like to rescue files so any alternative hint is welcome.

Thanks.
