I think this is all of them:

root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs spare-8 mfid8
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/mfid8 is part of active pool 'sorbs'
root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs spare-8 mfid15
cannot replace spare-8 with mfid15: no such device in pool
root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs 933862663 1702922605
cannot open '1702922605': no such GEOM provider
must be a full path or shorthand device name
root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs mfid8 mfid8
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/mfid8 is part of active pool 'sorbs'
root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs mfid15 mfid15
cannot replace mfid15 with mfid15: no such device in pool
root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs spare-8 1702922605
cannot open '1702922605': no such GEOM provider
must be a full path or shorthand device name
root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs 1702922605 spare-8
cannot open 'spare-8': no such GEOM provider
must be a full path or shorthand device name
root at colossus:~ # zpool replace sorbs 1702922605 mfid8
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/mfid8 is part of active pool 'sorbs'

The problem seems to be the guid -> device name transaltion is working
and failing because there is already a mfid8... and the re-number didn't
happen when the device was replaced...
