I did something like the following:
format -e /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0p0
fdisk

F (EFI)
6 (exit)

This isn't the output from when I did it but it is exactly the same steps that
I followed.
Thanks for the info about slices, I may give that a go later on. I'm not keen
on that because I have clear evidence (as in zpools set up this way, right now,
working, without issue) that GPT partitions of the style shown above work and I
want to see why it doesn't work in my set up rather than simply ignoring and
moving on.

I understand that p0 refers to the whole disk... in the logs I pasted in I'm
not attempting to mount p0. I'm trying to work out why I'm getting an error
attempting to mount p2, after p1 has successfully mounted. Further, this has
been done before on other systems in the same hardware configuration in the
exact same fashion, and I've gone over the steps trying to make sure I haven't
missed something but can't see a fault.
How did you create the partition? Are those marked as solaris partition, or
something else (e.g. fdisk on linux use type "83" by default).
I'm not keen on using Solaris slices because I don't have an understanding of
what that does to the pool's OS interoperability.
Linux can read solaris slice and import solaris-made pools just fine, as long
as you're using compatible zpool version (e.g. zpool version 28).
