Sometimes I have the panic in the photo at shutdown: http://imgur.com/mXrgFLp Unfortunately this happens randomly. After a bit of investigation I have understood the panic cause: is an invalid offset. The original function in /sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/txg.c is: boolean_t txg_list_member(txg_list_t *tl, void *p, uint64_t txg) { int t = txg & TXG_MASK; txg_node_t *tn = (txg_node_t *)((char *)p + tl->tl_offset); return (tn->tn_member[t] != 0); } I have modified the function to print an uncommon or invalid tl->tl_offset : boolean_t txg_list_member(txg_list_t *tl, void *p, uint64_t txg) { size_t ofs = tl->tl_offset; { static int cnt=0; if ( (cnt++ % 1000) == 0 || (ofs != 88 && ofs != 984) ) printf("**** %d) tl->tl_offset %zu\n", cnt, ofs); } txg_node_t *tn = (txg_node_t *)((char *)p + ofs); return (tn->tn_member[txg & TXG_MASK] != 0); } I have received the panic again with an invalid tl->tl_offset of 16045693110842147038. In /val/log/messages I have: Dec 8 10:32:42 ativ kernel: Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `vnlru' to stop...done Dec 8 10:32:42 ativ kernel: Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `bufdaemon' to stop...done Dec 8 10:32:42 ativ kernel: Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `syncer' to stop...

^Triage: I'm sorry that this PR did not get addressed in a timely fashion. By now, the version that it was created against is long out of support. As well, many newer versions of ZFS have been imported. Please re-open if it is still a problem on a supported version.
