Now i > have an array stuck permanently degraded. I don't think it's currently possible to remove a vdev from a pool without destroying the pool and re-creating it. That being said, it may be possible to salvage your situation. The first thing I would try would be zpool replace [pool] ad19 ad18 Once the resilver completes, your pool should magically get bigger, though you may have to export/import the pool first (or reboot if you can't unmount what's on it). If that fails, could you please post the output of 'zpool status' to the list? Craighome | help
