So you're saying that ZFS doesn't support such an operation natively? Seems weird. (It would seem that all that's needed is to have both drives connected and then inform ZFS that the old drive is about to be taken offline, thus giving it a chance to migrate the data on it to other drives much the same as would be done if that was a resilvering in a redundant array.)

@MichaelKjörling, I'm not saying that. I just say the above should work as I can't see any reason why it shouldn't.

Having said that, it looks like ZFS supports it indeed. Answer updated.

Great! This is the kind of answer I was looking for and hoping to get. Would give you another +1 for trying it out if I could.
