[OpenIndiana-discuss] Need Help Fixing Zpool misconfiguration

[Till Wegmüller]

And the icing on the cake is the fact that in the newest OI (Osnet 17649
2018.10) you can't accidently do it anymore. Unfortunately in OI (Osnet
17625 2018.04) there was no -f required to add the singleton device.

Well we will probably build a new Pool...

Thanks for the answer.
Looking forward for then new device_removal updates once they land
