Enable a hot spare to support more than one pool

[depasseg]

https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/12221

Currently (9.3.1), a hot spare can only be allocated to a single pool. Since ZFS allows a spare to cover multiple pools, that functionality would be nice in FreeNAS.

And reading https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/12221 I can see that the status was changed to Not To Be Fixed:

No such luck. This doesn't actually work as described in FreeBSD. The FreeNAS behavior mimics what the system is capable of.

Anyone with a FreeBSD system who can explain?
