yeah, sure, until you get a simple question like this:

and then you will need to pay someone a lot to set new GUID's, as
discussed earlier for LUN cloning done by storage hardware.

If you've detached one side of your mirror because you didn't want to
reboot, (1) it'll only work for a single-vdev pool, and (2) you'll
need the magic beans in this thread:

and obviously I've never done it myself.  I'm just repeating what I
read.

Of course you could just say, ``you can't do that.''  but that
solution would also work for UFS, also without the expensive
administrator.

I think at least for a few more years administrator salary deflation
is not a ZFS downside.
