Does hfs+ support this? I see no evidence that it does.
HFS+ isn't a file system with integrated volume management. Any disks
where no operating system resides on can be yanked out at will, not
causing problems.
Please explain.
Data movement, if necessary, has to be done by hand
though, but at least you can remove disks.
It's the usual home user scenario, where a disk breaks but can't be
replaced immediately (usually financial or time constraints).
Considering that the typical home user pools will be JBODs and not
RAID-Z, I also think that vdev removal is necessary in these scenarios.
Single vdev zpools work very much like traditional file systems without
volume managers, except that you have better resilience with ZFS.
