The latter is not the case according to status, the first is definitely the 
case. format reports the drive as present and correctly labelled.

For the record, ZFS seems to be only marginally confused: The pool showed no 
errors after the import; the rest remains to be seen after scrub is done. I 
can't see what would be wrong with a clean export/import. And the results of 
the drive swap are part of the plan to find out what impact the HW has on the 
transfer of this pool.

Does this still apply if I did a clean export before the swap?
