I'm trying to move some files around on my drive pool, and I need to evacuate a large iscsi drive. The proper process of removing the drive will lock my pool up for a few days, but I want to continue to use the pool to write data to while the removal is happening. Can I avoid this by manually going into the poolpart and moving the files to another drive's poolpart? Will that freak out the drivepool? I've already excluded my drive I'd like to remove from the file placement, along with disabling any automatic balancing.
