Really? And that works using nas as the pool name? Or do you tell it to 
use that replacing vdev? I've not seen that use so far. When replacing a 
disk that has been removed already, I don't see how that's a mirror, 
since the new disk must be reconstructed from the rest of the raidz, not 
from the removed disk. I find it confusing as hell, and redundant with 
the use of replace.

The /old only makes sense when you're replacing a device with the same 
device name. Here with WWN, it's not needed.
