Thanks for the clarification. Wouldn't it be nice if ZFS could fail over
to a spare and then allow the replacement as the new spare, as with what
is done with most commercial "hardware" RAIDs?

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
