Theoretically, you should be right, but the details are still fuzzy. At
the very least, the sequence "zpool export" - shuffle drives around -
"zpool import" should work without problems, though ZFS might pick up
different drive names if multiple labels are present; for example if
using partitions, some of the drives in the pool could be imported as
"adXp1" and others as "gptid/xxxx..." so a manual intervention might be
needed to keep things consistent.
