Well, hotswapping worked, but now I have a totally different problem. Just for reference: # zpool offline tank da3 # camcontrol stop da3 <swap drive> # camcontrol rescan all <'da3 lost device, removing device entry'> # camcontrol rescan all <'da3 at mpt0 ...', so new drive was found! yay> # zpool replace tank da3 *cannot replace da3 with da3: device is too small*
So I looked at the smartctl output for the old and new drive. Old: Device Model: WDC WD15EADS-00P8B0 Serial Number: WD-WMAVU0087717 Firmware Version: 01.00A01 User Capacity: 1,500,301,910,016 bytes New: Device Model: WDC WD15EADS-00R6B0 Serial Number: WD-WCAVY4770428 Firmware Version: 01.00A01 User Capacity: 1,500,300,828,160 bytes God damnit, Western Digital. What can I do now? It's such a small difference, is there a way I can work around this? My other replacement drive is the "00R6B0" drive model as well, with the slightly smaller capacity.

They've both got one hot-spare drive. Well, I say 'hot > spare'. I mean 'Ought to be a hot-spare if my shoddy Perl works when > triggered by devd'.
