Yeah.  This resilver has been running for over a day already, and it is
refusing to project what the finishing time will be, mostly because I
had to yank it out of the DC in order to substitute another machine to
do what this one should have been doing.  (So it spent a night powered
down in he middle of the resilver operation.)

The VDEV is about 20TB which I suppose is pretty big, but possibly not
what some ZFS practicioners would call "very large..."  6 x 4TB drives
in a RAIDZ

	Cheers,
