I have a zpool with a "stripe of mirrors" structure: mech mirror-0 disk0 disk1 mirror-1 disk2 disk3 ... I want to convert it from mirrors to raidz as part of an upgrade, with the final form looking something like this: mech raidz-0 disk20 disk21 ... I'd like to be able to attach the new raidz vdev as a mirror to the entire pool, have it silver, then detach the old vdevs. Is this at all possible? I'd rather not create a whole new pool and copy everything over because doing so would require downtime.
