At earlier boot failures after a power outage, the behaviour was
different, but the boot archive was recognized as inconsistent a
handful of times. This bugs me. Otherwise, the machines run through
without trouble, and with ZFS, the chances for a damaged boot archive
should be zero. Here it approaches a two-digit percentage. No flame,
but when the machine(s) run that OS that usually uses ext3, the damage
is less often, and the repair more straightforward.
I'd really be curious to know, where the problem could lie here, under
the assumption that it was not the file system that corrupts the boot
archive.
I've worked hard to resolve this problem.. google opensolaris rescue
will show I've hit it a few times... Anyway, short version is it's not
zfs at all, but stupid handling of bootarchive. If you've installed
something like a 3rd party driver (OSS/Virtualbox) you'll likely hit
this bug.
