thanks for the explanation !
one more question:
there are situations where the disks doing strange things
(like lying) have caused the ZFS data structures to become wonky. The
'broken' data structure will cause all branches underneath it to be
lost--and if it's near the top of the tree, it could mean a good
portion of the pool is inaccessible.
can snapshots also be affected by such issue or are they somewhat
"immune" here?
Yes, it can be affected. If the snapshot's data structure / record is
underneath the corrupted data in the tree then it won't be able to be
reached.
