Thanks, I may try that. But how will this affect ZFS raidz set up to use ad-drives?

Like this:

	tank        ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz1    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ad10s2  ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ad12    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ad14    ONLINE       0     0     0
	    ad16    ONLINE       0     0     0
