Is it currently or near future possible to shrink a
zpool remove a disk
As other's have noted, no, not until the mythical bp_rewrite() function is
introduced.
So far I have found no documentation on bp_rewrite(), other than it is the
solution to evacuating a vdev, restriping a vdev, defragmenting a vdev, solving
world hunger and bringing peace to the Middle East.
If you search the forums you will find all sorts of discussion around this
evasive feature, but nothing concrete. I think it's hiding behind the unicorn
located at the end of the rainbow.
With Oracle withdrawing/inhousing/whatever development, it's a safe bet that
bp_rewrite() now rests in the hands of the community, possibly to be born in
Nexenta-land.
Maybe it's time for me to quit whining, dust off my KR book and get to work on
the weekends coming up with an honest implementation plan.
Anyone want to join a task force for getting bp_rewrite() implemented as a
community effort?
