Add a spare? A seventh disk, c0t6d0
Partition it.
add spare c0t6d0p1 spare c0t6d0p2
Kind of like what I also proposed. Now, just let's hope that when
a spare is needed, the big spare is not used for the small partition
first ;)
(Now I do wonder if ZFS cares to take the smallest sufficient spare
to fix a vdev, if it has a choice of several?)
Also note that mirrors make it easier to fix mistakes like that -
you can demote a mirror component into a single disk and rearrange
components, while you won't be able to (easily) juggle leaf vdevs
on a raidzN set...
