9.3 isn't that old and as far as I'm concerned 10.x is still today unfortuna=
tely causing more problems than it's fixed. That's just my opinion though. I=

 clutching onto my legacy OS, thank you very much. Don't push me. "Get off m=
y lawn." I'm not totally alone in this sentiment, am I?

I haven't had a single issue to report with online replacement and resilveri=
ng of drives on 9.0-9.3 and I've probably swapped about 20 failed drives usi=
ng ZFS across 9.x versions. Yes, I've had a second drive fail while resilver=
ing a disk in a raidz2. I haven't used any hardware RAID controllers in conj=
unction with FreeBSD for about 5 years now and at first glance it looked to m=
e like the OP might have been. (Sorry I didn't look at it in detail, I'm on m=
y phone and pastedumps hurt my eyes.)

Sorry to spam the list, I realize this is not the place for either topic.
