Thanks for the response, please see my comments below . . .

10 to 15 minutes.

Not when I noticed the problem. I'm evaluating ZFS+NFS as a replacement for our
NetApp filers and didn't want to continue testing until the disk issue was
resolved.

Before noticing the drive was unavailable, I had performed several bringovers
to the FS. This did nothing to trigger the hot spare (assuming the drive was
already unavailable). The box has been reinstalled with s10u3 since posting my
original message, so I'll try to reproduce the problem tomorrow (Wednesday).

Since I've reinstalled, the controller numbers are different, but the disks
remain the same:

The spares are the same size.

Ok, let me try to reproduce the problem and get you more info.
