I used to run SmartOS (Solaris) on a server, but recently moved to Proxmox (Linux). A non-root zpool that was exported from SmartOS was successfully imported to Proxmox - except for the cache device (which was offline at the time). zpool status archive now shows:
pool: archive
state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

As this is a Linux system and I have seen reports of random problems using a cache device, I have decided not to reinstate it. Unfortunately
zpool remove archive c4d0s0
fails with
cannot remove c4d0s0: no such device in pool
Which is not really surprising as the device name is not a format recognised by Linux.
I tried using zdb to find the GID of the missing cache device, but nothing shows up. Any ideas on how to delete this device?
