While learning about ZFS, I found this article and a few others talking about adding a hot spare to a mirror or other forms of vdevs. This article and other things I've read makes me think the best way for me to run a ZPOOL is a bunch of 2 drive mirrors and then silvering in a hot spare when i fear a failure on a disk or two when I want to upgrade the VDEV size. While looking through this forum, the newest post I could find about hot spares is nearly a year old and said that hot spares still don't work, but mentioned FreeBSD 9. Unless I'm wrong, FN 9.1 is based on FB 9, so does that mean hot spares are now working?
