Given that you're running 8.1-RELEASE, what sort of ZFS tunings are you
using in /boot/loader.conf?  Tuning is required on this version.

The ad0 READ_DMA48 errors could indicate you have a hard disk with bad
blocks or is going bad in a different manner.  Please install
ports/sysutils/smartmontools and provide output of "smartctl -a
/dev/ad0" here and I can help you determine that.
