ISTR you had to online a drive first, then issue the replace command.
Also, it could be you used GPT to offset your ZFS partition on a 4
Kibyte boundary, because your drive might be one of those "hey I'm a 4
Kibyte physical sector size drive but I'll claim to have a 512 byte
sector size, both logical and physical, just to annoy you!" drives.
That's why I don't use raw disks for my ZFS drives, anyway.
