I'm still (or again) in more or less the same situation as before.
I have tried things like exporting the pool and re-importing it. However
the import didn't even want to work. Only once I found an undocumented
"zpool import -V" option by UTSLing, the pool got imported again, but
still without an attempt at resilvering.

There also exist (undocumented) -F (rewind) and -X (extreme rewind)
options for zpool import and zpool clear. However, the effect of -X
seems to be that some extremely lengthy operation is attempted, that
never finishes. In some cases, a reboot was necessary to terminate the
process.

I have also tried to remove an extra disk, on the theory that with
raidz2 you can miss 2 disks, and that the problem might be restricted to
a single disk. I haven't done each disk yet, but so far there was no
success. (I "removed" each disk by unconfiguring the pass-through on the
Areca web interface).

$ zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: FAULTED
status: One or more devices could not be opened.  There are insufficient
        replicas for the pool to continue functioning.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.

Any ideas?
