It looks like there's a serious denial of the fact that "bad things
do happen to even the best of people" on this thread.
Sure.
I think most here would agree that some form of recovery tool for ZFS is
long overdue. I've rebuilt a UFS filesystem after it was damaged by an
exploding power supply and it was a strangely rewarding experience. I'm
not sure how ZFS would survive this type of failure and I doubt I'd be
able to recover a broken pool without help.
It's also clear that the OP has failed to grasp the principles of ZFS
and he appears reluctant to acknowledge this.
USB removable devices are not the most reliable storage media. I have
been using USB sticks as a high speed data link between home and office
for over a year now and I've never had any corruption, but I have had
two sticks fail. If I'm travelling, I always back up to a two stick ZFS
mirror.
