Short version: 
- 2.0.0 on Catalina shows the same problems as I was having on Big Sur.  
 - I was wrong (sorry!), raw dd data is correct so the core of the ZFS extension is working right 
 - Catalina (and BigSur) are having problems "using" some of the virtual disks.
 
Process followed: 
- I run a scrub of the pool overnight (on 1.9.4).
 - Grabbed the output shown below on 1.9.4.  
 - Exported the pool, uninstalled 1.9.4, rebooted 
 - Installed 2.0.0 (still on Catalina) and rebooted 
 - Imported the pool and grabbed the output.  
 -  Exported the pool, reverted back to 1.9.4, and presently re-scrubbing the pool.
 
ZFS setup: 
- I have one large pool and on that pool 3 volumes.  
 - I use the native zfs filesystem for most data but...
 - Have 3 volumes which host JHFS+ filesystems (so timemachine, photos, etc. all work the way they prefer to work)
 
Observations under 2.0.0 vs 1.9.4:
- One of the volumes never shows in diskutil list under 2.0.0 (all three show under 1.9.4)
 - The first three 512 byte blocks of the two volumes that do show up as /dev/disk entries are identical between 1.9.4 and 2.0.0.  I looked at the last few blocks of each volume along with the first few blocks of the JHFS+ partition as well and they are correct/consistent between 1.9.4 and 2.0.0.
 - One of the volumes that does have a /dev/disk entry under 2.0.0 does not show a partition table or partitions/filesystems via diskutil list and can't be mounted by OS X (yet works fine under 1.9.4) despite having the same blocks.
 - Looking at that volume using gpt shows it has a valid partition (while diskutil list say it does not)
 - diskutil info on that disk entry says "IOContent: None" vs under 1.9.4 where is says "IOContent: GUID_partition_scheme".
 
Hypothesis:
- The code that maps /dev/disk blocks to the backing ZFS volume works properly (as tools like gpt or dd which examine the /dev/disk raw blocks work.)
 - Somehow something isn't being set that OS X looks for when more than one volume exists.  One volume does properly show and mount, one completely fails to have any /dev/disk entry at all, and one has a /dev/disk entry that's backed by real, valid, data when accessed at the block level, but diskutil insists no partitions exist.  
- This is supported by the different output the one "partially" there disk provides for a "diskutil info" under 1.9.4 vs 2.0.0.  
 -  Under 1.9.4 the output includes:  "Content (IOContent):       GUID_partition_scheme." 
 -  Under 2.0.0 the output includes: "Content (IOContent):       None"
 
 
Let me know what else I can try to look at to assist in tracking down why this happens.

The virtual disks, after zpool import, are the following.  
Note: one of the zVols never showed up in the diskutil list output.- Code: Select all
 bash-3.2# diskutil list
(... physical disks removed ...)
