Many moons ago I built a 6 drive NAS server that was far overbuilt for my needs...With the drives going, and I've never really come close to filling the 12tb, I'm planning on moving to something a little more simple to maintain, but that's another story. For the moment I have no need to spend the money on another drive to keep this thing running.
I have a failed drive I removed from the pool, I thought this would be an easier answer then it is to find...with the drive disconnected and removed from the pool, how to I get the files to 'redistribute across the remaining drives and get out of 'degraded' status?
Thanks,
Matt

Re: Removing a drive from the pool
There are no ways to reduce ZFS pool size.
To make in place reconfiguration I used to detach one side of mirror from all vdevs, build new pool on them and move data from old pool to new one.
