Hi, Christopher, I tried by using raw files as the spare, remove the file, then 'zpool remove' , looks the raw files could be eliminated from the pool.
But since you use the physical device, I suppose it might be a bug there, for the status of spare device has turned to be 'UNAVAIL'. Could you point out the OS you used? I might check with the latest onnv nightly to see if this issue exist. Christopher Gibbs wrote: > I have a hot spare that was part of my zpool but is no longer > connected to the system.
