<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">This is probably a silly question, but I’ve honestly never tried this and don’t have a test machine handy at the moment – can a pool be safely exported and re-imported later if it is currently resilvering?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">In the way of a bit of background, I have a pool made up with thirty or so 4TB Seagate disks with a firmware issue that results in their max temp being set at 40C as opposed to 60C. This particular pool is
in an office building in Texas, in an air-conditioned server room. The condenser for this unit is in the building’s plenum and when the building a/c goes off over weekends in the summer my server room a/c struggles and temps run up to about 85F or so. This
is causing my pool to drop random disks lately (fmadm reports high temp and they get marked as removed from the pool), and I’ve only just narrowed it down to this firmware issue. Seagate firmware update utility is apparently Windows only, so the disks must
come out for the firmware update, but the pool is resilvering several disks with days remaining, hence my original query.
