Hi Jason,
Since spare replacement is an important process, I've rewritten this
section to provide 3 main examples, here:

Scroll down the section:
Activating and Deactivating Hot Spares in Your Storage Pool

See, I get overly literal when working on failed production storage
(and yes, I do have backups...) I wasn't wanting to cancel the
in-progress spare replacement. I had a completed spare replacement,
and I wanted to make it "official". So, that didn't really fit my
scenario either.
I'm glad you
Thank you, that did the trick. That's not terribly obvious from the
man page though. The man page says it detaches the devices from a
mirror, and I had a raidz2. Since I'm messing with production data, I
decided I wasn't going to chance it when I was reading the man page.

How does the SS7000 do it?
Today I demoed pulling a disk and the spare just automatically became
part of the pool. After it was re-silvered I then pulled three more
(latest Q3 version with triple RAID-Z). I then plugged all the drives
back in (different slots) and everything was back t

Yes, that's what I thought too. This is build 124 bfu'd.

This is less than ideal because it unnecessarily leaves the pool's
redundancy reduced while the replacement resilver is happening.

I think it is difficult to cover all the possible ways to replace
a disk with a spare.
This example in the ZFS Admin Guide didn't work for me:

See the manual replacement example. After the zpool detach and
zpool replace operations, the spar

What actually worked is below.

So, my Areca controller has been complaining via email of read errors for a
couple days on SATA channel 8. The disk finally gave up last night at 17:40.
I got to say I really appreciate the Areca controller taking such good care of
me.
For some reason, I wasn't able to log into the server las
