One of my pools (backup pool) has a disk which I suspect may be going south. I 
have a replacement disk of the same size. The original pool was using one of 
the partitions towards the end of the disk. I want to move the partition to the 
beginning of the disk on the new disk.

Does ZFS store/use partition start/end/offsets of partitions etc? Or is it just 
about:

1. Export the pool.
2. dd if=<old_partition> of=<new_partition>
3. Take the old disk out
4. Import the pool.

I think the question in nutshell is: Do the partition begin/end matter if the 
partition is same size?
