Hmmm. Perhaps I'm not being fair on 8. Just had a look at my loader.conf 
for 7 and I can see that I used to run with every zfs*disable on. I've 
just rebooted 8 with:

vfs.zfs.cache_flush_disable: 1
vfs.zfs.mdcomp_disable: 1
vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable: 1
vfs.zfs.zil_disable: 1
hw.ata.wc: 1

The current fs which produced errors on every scrub now reports no errors.
   I now need to find which option fixed it.
   I suspect hw.ata.wc. Is this still a known issue?
   Cheers.
