And one more note: while I could offline both "fake drives" in OpenSolaris
tests,
the Solaris 10u6 box refused to offline the second drive since it left the pool
without parity.
{code}
[r...@t2k1 /]# zpool status test
pool: test
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
test ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz2 ONLINE 0 0 0
/pool/rf1 ONLINE 0 0 0
/pool/rf2 ONLINE 0 0 0
/pool/rf3 ONLINE 0 0 0
/pool/rf4 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
[r...@t2k1 /]# zpool offline test /pool/rf1
[r...@t2k1 /]# zpool offline test /pool/rf2
cannot offline /pool/rf2: no valid replicas
{code}
There is no force option in either Solaris nor OpenSolaris:
{code}
[r...@t2k1 /]# zpool offline -f test /pool/rf2
invalid option 'f'
usage:
offline [-t] <pool> <device> ...
{code}
So this method is okay when used with file-based fake drives (which can be
unlinked and scrubbed), but needs some more trickery reserarch in supported
Solaris (i.e. if I tried to use this trick for resizing a raidz2 array of 4
disks).
