Hello

In your original 'zpool import' output, it shows the following:

       Additional devices are known to be part of this pool, though their
       exact configuration cannot be determined.

I'm thinking your problem might be related to devices that's supposed to
be part of the pool but that's not shown in the import.

For instance, here's my attempt at recreating your scenario:

  # zpool import
     pool: t
       id: 15230454775812525624
    state: DEGRADED
   status: One or more devices are missing from the system.
   action: The pool can be imported despite missing or damaged devices.  The
	  fault tolerance of the pool may be compromised if imported.
     see: http://illumos.org/msg/ZFS-8000-2Q
   config:
  
	  t                        DEGRADED
	    raidz1-0               DEGRADED
	      md3                  ONLINE
	      md4                  ONLINE
	      md5                  ONLINE
	      md6                  ONLINE
	      3421664295019948379  UNAVAIL  cannot open
	  cache
	    md1s2
	  logs
	    md1s1                  ONLINE
  # 

As you can see, the pool stattus is 'DEGRADED' instead of 'UNAVAIL', and
I don't have the 'Additional devices...' message.

The pool imports OK:

  # zpool import t
  # zpool status t
    pool: t
   state: DEGRADED
  status: One or more devices could not be opened.  Sufficient replicas exist for
	  the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state.
  action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.

As a further test, let's see what happens when the cache disk
disappears:

  # zpool export t
  # gpart delete -i 2 md1
  md1s2 deleted
  # zpool import
     pool: t
       id: 15230454775812525624
    state: DEGRADED
   status: One or more devices are missing from the system.
   action: The pool can be imported despite missing or damaged devices.  The
	  fault tolerance of the pool may be compromised if imported.

  # 

So even with a missing raidz component and a missing cache device, the
pool still imports.

I think some crucial piece of information is missing to complete the
picture.
