Are ZFS Automatic Spares Size-Aware when Using "autoreplace=on"?

Max ZFS codebase for pool: zfs-linux (0.7.5-1ubuntu16.11) Imagine a pool that grew unexpectedly, by adding larger mirrors in terms of physical disk capacity. Spares went in tow. New mirror, new spare. SAS Enterprise Grade on HBA. Mirror 0 is smaller…

Why doesn't ZFS vdev removal work when any raidz devices are in the pool?

First: I'm perfectly okay with accepting that this is the case for now and am not looking for an immediate solution, rather I'm trying to understand the technical limitation for this constraint. I'm working primarily with ZFS on Linux, but my…

Given two ZFS pools where snapshots from one are sent to the other, is it possible to automatically repair a damaged snapshot using a copy of that snapshot stored on the other pool? I'm hoping this will only ever be a hypothetical question, but it…

Forcefully forget / unmount ZFS pool after drives disconnected

First off, I made a mistake & I acknowledge that, but now I'm stuck with a "broken" ZFS driver and want to restore it without rebooting my machine. How I can say ZFS on Linux to just forget the existence of a pool (forcefully unmount & "export" it)…

I have some datasets that are frequently written to, but whose data is non critical (caches etc.). Is it possible to "send" these to another pool without copying any of their data? I realised too late of course that I should have just done this when…

ZFS checksum error: how to recover from a replica?
