I used the "zfs umount tank" command. I now tried it with "/etc/rc.d/zfs 
stop" (both cases: before and after umounting the volume via "zfs 
umount") and synced again. Still the effect remains the same: After 
reboot the filesystem is corrupted and unreadable.

100% for sure. The SAN is (at the moment) connected via Cross-Cable 
directly to the FreeBSD-Box, so has only a dedicated connection. Before 
that it was connected over a seperate Cisco 520G Switch, only used by 
the SAN and the FreeBSD Box.
The networkcard is a INTEL 1GBit. Also tried it with a nVidia nForce Pro 
3400 (also 1GBit). I also played with the MTU sizes: at the moment it is 
default (1500) - but other sizes (jumbo size 9000) also do not change 
anything (I made sure, both sides (SAN and FreeBSD) uses the same size).
