 +==== Spares ====
  
 +Usually a spare can replace a faulted disk but **remains a spare**.  The idea behind this is that you replace the faulted disk, then replace the spare with the new and the spare remains a spare.
 +
 +If you want to remove the spare property, first remove then replace.

 +<note tip>You can expand a ZFS pool by replacing redundant drives on replacing them **one at a time**.  **Be sure to wait for the resilvering to finish before replacing the next drive!**</note>
 +
 +<note tip>Shut down the server to physically replace drives. If you have hotswap capability, you can use ''zpool offline <poolname> <disk>'' to tell ZFS to ignore the device being replaced.</note>
