[zfs-discuss] Permanently removing vdevs from a pool

2007-04-19 Thread Mario Goebbels
Is it possible to gracefully and permanently remove a vdev from a pool without data loss? The type of pool in question here is a simple pool without redundancies (i.e. JBOD). The documentation mentions for instance offlining, but without going into the end results of doing that. The thing I'm lo
