Mario,
Until zpool remove is available, you don't have any options to remove a
disk from a non-redundant pool.
Currently, you can:
- replace or detach a disk in a ZFS mirrored storage pool
- replace a disk in a ZFS RAID-Z storage pool
Please see the ZFS best practices site for more info about using
redundant ZFS configurations:

Is it possible to gracefully and permanently remove a vdev from a pool without
data loss? The type of pool in question here is a simple pool without
redundancies (i.e. JBOD). The documentation mentions for instance offlining,
but without going into the end results of doing that. The thing I'm looking for
is an option to evacuate, for the lack of a better word, the data from a
specific vdevs to the other vdevs in the pool, so the device can simply be
removed.
Scenarios for this would be inavailability of spares (this actually happened to
me, in a fairly huge computer wholesales none the less (sad chapter)) and disk
replacements in an end user scenario.
Thanks.
