Hi, I have a zpool that currently looks like this (some lines elided for
brevity; all omitted devices are online and apparently fine):
pool: zp1
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices has been taken offline by the administrator.
Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning
in a
degraded state.
action: Online the device using 'zpool online' or replace the device
with
'zpool replace'.
scan: resilvered 1.76T in 1 days 00:38:14 with 0 errors on Sun Jun 19

My question is why the "spare-9" device still exists after the
resilvering completed. Based on past experience, my expectation was that
it would exist for the duration of the resilvering and after that, only
the "gpt/disk41" device would appear in the output of "zpool status."
I also expected that when the resilvering completed, the "was
/dev/gpt/disk41" device would be removed from the list of spares.
I took the "was /dev/gpt/disk31" device offline deliberately because it
was causing a lot of "CAM status: SCSI Status Error" errors. Next step
for this pool is to replace that with one of the available spares but
I'd like to get things looking a little cleaner before doing that.
I don't have much in the way of ideas here. One thought was to export
the pool and then do "zpool import zp1 -d /dev/gpt" and see if that
cleaned things up.
This system is running 12.2-RELEASE-p4, which I know is a little out of
date. I'm going to update it 13.1-RELEASE soon but the more immediate
need is to get this zpool in good shape.
Any insights or advice much appreciated. Happy to provide any further
info that might be helpful. Thanks.
