Wheee!

Is there anyway to simulate a disk failure on VBox?  Does one simply rm/mv 
the .vmdk files on the host system? Inside the virtual machine I'm unable 
to get camcontrol to do anything (the SATA drives are AHCI so we don't 
want atacontrol correct?) that would simulate this.

Great work putting this together. Thanks.

cheers

ps: I'm pretty sure it worked once but now I am not having much luck with 
zpool split. Possibly a PEBKAC. I think there are manual page patches for 
all the new features include with each of Sunoracle's PSARCs but they 
don't all appear on the manual pages included with the vbox image (??)
