Greetings,

We are having an issue with stability problems on one of our ZFS fileservers.
The system will run fine for a few days, but gradually report the log
the log devices as failing, and then eventually panic.  After several rounds
of this, we finally removed the log devices and the machine has not
panicked since.

We have tried several different types of SSD (both datacenter and non) and 
the issue happens with all of them.  When queried with the vendor tools, the 
drives all report themselves healthy, and after a reboot they all report 
healthy as well.

The same SSDs are serving as cache devices without issue.

This is FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 #2 r337991

Here is a backtrace:

KDB: stack backtrace:

#16 0xffffffff80d6c18b at svc_thread_start+0xb
#17 0xffffffff80aba073 at fork_exit+0x83

Any suggestions on what to try next?  We are at a loss as to why the devices
are being marked failed when they clearly are not.
