Thanks a bunch. I wasn't aware of the possibility of using detach except for mirrors (as I beleive the manual states). Just tried to detach the two bad devices, and the pool is back to ONLINE. I'll restart the iozone testing to see if all VDEVs are used this time :)

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.
