No, there won''t be anything on the drive, I was just wondering if ZFS
might get confused seeing a disk it knows about, but with no data on
there.

To be honest, on a single parity raid array with that many drives, I''d
be buying another drive straight away.  You''ve got no protection for
your data right now.

I''d also advise adding a hot spare to that system.  If the new drive
works ok, you can probably use the one you''re having problems with now
as a hot spare.
