ZFS upgrade after switching from 8.1 to 8.2 prerelease

Hi,

2 days ago I upgraded a server that is used as backup machine to 8.2 prerelease. All seemed to be ok after the upgrade, [cmd=]zpool upgrade -a[/cmd] was done immediately and [cmd=]zfs upgrade -a[/cmd] has taken some time, a hour and some minutes.

After this I started a scrub with the knowledge that it takes hours to be finished on this pool and I knew it would hit the time window, when some backups are stored to that pool, using rsync over the network. I decided that this would became a good stress test, because it worked several times and generates heavy load, without problems on FreeBSD 8.1 AMD64.

Code:
NAME      SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
backup1  16.3T  7.19T  9.13T    44%  ONLINE  -

The server crashed with a double fault. Unfortunately I cannot provide more information about this and it was not a GENERIC kernel. Next time the server will crash, I will collect everything necessary.

That's the story, now my questions:

Did anyone experience anything similar after upgrading?

Is it foolproof that [cmd=]zfs upgrade -a[/cmd] works on an "online" pool with maybe some thousands of mountpoints?

Greetings & thanks in advance
