This is emphatically not what was being requested by me, in fact. I agree, I would be highly suspicious of the data's integrity depending upon the zpool structure. There are a couple other things to consider. First, this requires exporting the whole pool, which automatically assumes an outage is acceptable. Second, it assumes the other half of the mirror will be used elsewhere as in "on another system". This is also not a fair automatic assumption to make. The comments I made in this thread (I can't speak for others) were that the broken-off mirror may be used safely elsewhere, with the understanding this could even be on the same system, perhaps for archival reference or some-such. "Elsewhere" does not automatically imply "on another server". My apologies if I did not make this clear.
