Note that people used to shoot themselves in the foot when lazily (or by
accident) adding a single disk to an existing pool. If that pool was
composed of RAID vdevs, then now they had a non-redundant single disk in
that pool and it was not possible to remove a vdev from a pool! That
single-disk vdev could only be converted to a mirror to at least get
redundancy back.
The only proper solution was to destroy the pool and start from scratch. By now there \
is a partial remedy, in that it is possible to remove mirror vdevs from a pool. But \
no RAIDs: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/solved-how-to-remove-vdev-from-zpool/192044/5

And you get some left-over metadata about the removed vdev.

Haven't we had this topic before? At least twice? Including the comparison between
the three layers of LVM with their equivalent in ZFS land. ;-)
ZFS is more meant for static setups, not constantly changing disk loadouts
of varying disk sizes.
