ZFS and reordering drives

[Rich]

Sure - the problem, as observed above, is no longer reordering (which
as someone noted, can be fixed by importing by gpid out of /dev, on
FBSD or Solaris), but that one of the drive sizes /shrank/, presumably
due to bad blocks.

In all cases a "zfs export [pool]" and "zfs import [pool]" fixed the issue. I'm not sure exactly what ZFS is doing, but even across reboots it appears to remember the configuration it used to see, and insist on seeing it again. An export/import forces ZFS to forget what it knows and look at what's on the drives.
