It does not work if the ZFS system is full of data, and it's hard/impossible to rebuild. I have experience the other way around. My ZFS raidz2 is pretty old, probably even from the 7.x times... And I've upgraded it regulary to new versions. I even upgraded to v28, to be able to remove log's that we on USB sticks and all. No problem at all. And I do have removed logs quite a few times to look at different configs with my SSDs. Again: if you have te possibility to rebuild, why not. --WjW
