Looking at the examples shown there as types of errors one might get
using `zpool status', I notice NONE of the examples show the
corruption being listed as a directory.  All examples show actual end
of the line filenames, accept those where the error says the pool is
FAULTED.

Have you ever seen a 'zpool status' output that showed only directory
names as the corrupted 'files'?

Is that unusual?

I have no experience on which to draw.

Can you specify what you actually mean by 'lacking redundancy'.

And for the record, one of the pools showing the posted output was
only 2 days old, so no... there had not been major scrubbing.....

Even the oldest one showing problems was less than a week old.
