Hi!
I have a ZFS pool with 4x8TB disks
I´m intended to test a full preventive replace of all of them, with another set of 4x8TB HDs.
I have find this old thread with important instructions. : ZFS Disk replacement (2018)
But i´m in doubt with the boot partition.
Appears that the boot partition resides inside ZFS pool .
However, the 4 original disks have partitions listed as "boot":
Will I need to copy all disk partitions as described in the mencioned post in step 3, and grub-restore in step 5, previous to restore zfs pool?
Regards!!

Copy the partition table from /dev/sda to /dev/sdc
