Okay, I'm trying to do whatever I can NONDESTRUCTIVELY to fix this.  I have 
almost 5TB of data that I can't afford to lose (baby pictures and videos, 
etc.).  Since no one has seen this problem before, maybe someone can tell me 
what I need to do to make a backup of what I have now so I can try other 
methods to recover this data.  Just about everything I do starts writing to 
these drives, and that worries me.  For example:  zfs list - writes, zfs 
volinit - writes.  I am hoping that I have not already ruined the existing data 
on these drives, but I do not know enough about ZFS to troubleshoot or test.  
I'm a little bit frustrated about this because I think I have everything I 
need, but I still can't access anything:  64-bit - check, ECC RAM - check, 
redundancy (RAID-Z) - check.  I don't know if I'm not following the proper 
protocol for posting, and that is why I am not getting any responses, or what.  
At this point, I'm open to any suggestions (right or wrong).  If the only way 
 I'll get any help is to pay for OpenSolaris support, let me know.
