One more question on this; so there's no way to tell just from the status the difference between a pool degraded due to disk failure but still with full redundancy from a hot spare vs a pool degraded due to disk failure that has lost redundancy due to that failure? I guess you can review the pool details for the specifics but for large pools it seems it would be valuable to be able to quickly distinguish these states from the short status. Thanks... -- Paul B.
