Answering myself, finally looked at the zdb source code, and I see the results 
running on a live pool are not consistent, hence the -L option.  OK, so I'm 
going to trust the scrub to tell me if there are errors, and as far as I can 
tell, my pools are clean now.  But is was scary creating the mirror from a pool 
with checksum errors.  I think there could be some more verbosity about what is 
going on, or to give the user some options when checksum errors are found in 
the process of silvering up a mirror for the first time.  Just a comment.

Thanks,

Jon

Since no one has responded to my thread, I have a question:  Is zdb 
suitable to run on a live pool?  Or should it only be run on an exported 
or destroyed pool?  In fact, I see that it has been asked before on this 
forum, but is there a users guide to zdb? 

Thanks,

Jon
