testing zfs. I'd created a zpoolz2, ran a large backup onto it. Then I pulled one drive (11-drive, one hot spare pool), and it resilvered with the hot spare. zpool status -x shows me state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state. action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'. see: http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-4J scan: resilvered 1.91T in 29h33m with 0 errors on Tue Jun 11 15:45:59 2019 config:

Never mind. More googling, with different search terms, showed me that in this case, I had to use zpool online export1 /dev/sdb1.
<snip> Ok, now, either zpool's confused, or I am. As I said, I did the online, and now I have this: export1 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz2-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 sda ONLINE 0 0 0 spare-1 ONLINE 0 0 0 sdb ONLINE 0 0 0 sdl ONLINE 0 0 0 sdc ONLINE 0 0 0 sdd ONLINE 0 0 0 sde ONLINE 0 0 0 sdf ONLINE 0 0 0 sdg ONLINE 0 0 0 sdh ONLINE 0 0 0 sdi ONLINE 0 0 0 sdj ONLINE 0 0 0 sdk ONLINE 0 0 0 spares sdl INUSE currently in use
1. Why is sdl there with sdb under "spare-1", and listed as "online", while it's listed again under "spares", and "currently in use"? Do I have to issue another manual command, to tell it to drop it out of the pool, and let it go back to being *just* a spare?
