Does the same thing apply for a "failing" drive? I have a drive that has not failed but by all indications, it's about to.... Can I do the same thing here?

Hi,

I have a ZFS storage pool consisting of a single RAIDZ2 vdev of 6 drives, and I 
have a question about replacing a failed drive, should it occur in future.

If a drive fails in this double-parity vdev, then am I correct in saying that I 
would need to (1) unplug the old drive once I've identified the drive id 
(c1t0d0 etc), (2) plug in the new drive on the same SATA cable, and (3) issue a 
'zpool replace pool_name drive_id' command etc, at which point ZFS will 
resilver the new drive from the parity data ?

Thanks,
Simon
