There was recently a thread were someone had an issue importing a
known-to-be-healthy pool after a BIOS update. It turned out that the new
BIOS had a different host protected area on the disks and therefore
delivered a different disk size to OS. I'd check the controller and BIOS
settings that are concerned with disks. Any change in this area might
lead to this effect.

Additionally, I think it is not a good idea to use a RAID controller to
mirror disks for ZFS. Like this a silently corrupted sector cannot be
corrected by ZFS. In contrast if you give ZFS both disks as individual
disks and create a ZPOOL mirror, ZFS is able to detect corrupted sectors
and correct them from the health side of the mirror. A hardware mirror
will never know which side of the mirror is good and which is bad...
