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 looking for is an option to evacuate, for the lack of a better word, the data from a specific vdevs to the other vdevs in the pool, so the device can simply be removed.
Scenarios for this would be inavailability of spares (this actually happened to me, in a fairly huge computer wholesales none the less (sad chapter)) and disk replacements in an end user scenario. Thanks.
