I was greeted by this today. The Sun Message ID page says this should happen when there were errors in a replicated configuration. Clearly there's only one drive here. If there are unrecoverable errors how can my applications not be affected since there's no mirror or parity to recover from?

Metadata is stored redundantly so some metadata could become corrupted and recovered via the redundant copy. In recent zfs you can set copies=2 to store user data redundantly on one drive.
