It's a Bacula storage daemon server and was getting considerable usage - our backup set is in the multiple-terabytes-per-week of data being written to the disk.  However, during the last two weeks something has broken.  Starting on about July 15th or so we started to loose the data zpool which is connected via the mps driver.  The disks are an external array of 32 drives, etc 2TB.  When I did a "zpool status", I saw that some of the drives had dropped out of the array.  Rebooting the server brought them back until the next heavy write time.  On July 22nd I did a "make world" to see if there were any kernel updates that may have fixed the problem, but any updates that may have happened did not seem to help.

I've seen similar messages on a ZFS-based system, when rebooting, and 
when unmounting a USB memory stick (curiously, with an msdosfs 
filesystem, though my hard drive contains ZFS)
