That’s what I’d do, followed by an unfail for the larger disk.

Subject: moving data off of a spare disk.

I have a situation where a disk failed and the rebuild started on the spare from another shelf of disks.  The spare was larger than the original failed disk and I need that spare to be available for the aggregate using the larger disks.

How do I force the data off that disk and onto one of the other spare disks?  Do I just wait for the rebuild to finish and then fail it?
