I just realigned my zpool from ashift=9 to ashift=12, successfully
transmitted the snapshot, and am booting from the new pool... however, I
cannot get the last disk added to the pool. Details follow (uname
wrapped).

This machine is a headless NAS, and has been updated since 9.?.
I had a ZFS pool which looked (approximately) like the following (prior
to the realignment). Note that the table is from memory, because I
didn't keep a screenshot, but the device and partition names and numbers
are correct. The disks ada0 and ada2 are 1.5 TiB, and ada1 and ada3 are
500 MiB.

ada3p1 ONLINE 0 0 0

I detached ada2p3 and ada3p1 from the pool after scrubbing the pool,
then created a new pool with ashift=12 with ada2p3 and ada3p1.
Following that I had the following zpool status (just the table - these
IDs are correct).

Now, I transfered the snapshot from nastiez (the old zpool) to pool (the
new zpool), verified the transfer, and destroyed the old zpool. Next I
duplicated the partition configuration that I used on ada2 and ada3
on ada0 and ada1, and started to attach them to the pool.
First I did the following.
#v+
zpool attach pool \
/dev/gptid/adc0e6d4-78a6-11e4-8646-0014222d98da \
/dev/gptid/f0668af9-7aa2-11e4-8452-0014222d98da
#v-
Which made a mirror out of ada1p3 and ada0p3 (first and second,
respectively) as shown.
#v+

gptid/c6ede2a4-78a6-11e4-8646-0014222d98da ONLINE 0 0 0

Now I just need to mirror ada3p1 (gptid/c6ede...98da) with ada1p1, and
I'll be done. However (command line and error message wrapped)...
#v+

cannot attach /dev/gptid/fadbb43d-7aa2-11e4-8452-0014222d98da to \
/dev/gptid/c6ede2a4-78a6-11e4-8646-0014222d98da: no such device in pool
#v-
I've searched for about 2 days, and have not been able to find anything
that either solves my problem or tells me why I can't add this device.
Can anyone tell me how to add the last drive (ada1) without losing the
data on the drive? Or is this a situation where I'll need to get a set
of larger hard drives to get the data off this pool, and then
re-organize after the data is safe?
