The error messages and diagnostic information you meant to send seems to have gotten lost. Please try resending that and maybe somebody can help you.

The error message is after updating it panics because the amd drivers are now broken

But the real issue is that after trying to remove the amdgpu shit from loader.conf rc.conf

And running freebsd-update rollback

My zfs pool is no longer mountable
No longer visible with zfs import and

zdb, pointed at the partitions,  returns.
Failed to unpack label 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4?


So its totally fucked now for reasons that are not clear at all...  How does that happen to both disks of RAID1

Was this 15.1-RELEASE-p1 -> 15.1-RELEASE-p2 or were you upgrading
from a different version?

amdgpu should only be in rc.conf and not loader.conf.

I presume you didn't get that far due to amdgpu panic but did you
take any manual steps to update the zpool after upgrade?
Do you have ZFS boot environments? Running `bectl list` should
display entries if so and the boot loader should offer to pick different
entries.
I haven't used `freebsd-update rollback` but presume that shouldn't
happen. If no bug report already exists for it and the issue doesn't
point to something else then it would likely be very good to make sure a
problem report is created and tracked specifically for this.

RAID1 does not offer any protection against software error and user
error; that is what backups, and less so zpool checkpoints, and even
less so zfs snapshots, and least so boot environments help against. If a
drive failed or its data was corrupted then RAID1 helps but when the
user or program performs any change to the data it goes to both disks.
An update that makes amdgpu unusable goes to both disks. Any
freebsd-update related failure goes to both disks.
UEFI and older BIOS based boot loaders are written to disk outside of
ZFS. I don't use freebsd-update but I thought it was still left up to
the user to update the boot loader separately and that it didn't execute
any ZFS commands other than stuff to create boot environments; I don't
know if rollback will delete created boot environments but if you
weren't actively doing anything with them then you should have still
been on one called 'default' both before and after upgrade with the only
question being if it rollback deleted or picked the previously created
boot environment but I'd doubt it does either.
If you don't want an activity to impact both disks, you can split or
offline one of the two disks but while separated you will lose the
protections that RAID normally offers your data.
