https://www.illumos.org/issues/7614:
This project allows top-level vdevs to be removed from the storage pool with
“zpool remove”, reducing the total amount of storage in the pool. This
operation copies all allocated regions of the device to be removed onto other
devices, recording the mapping from old to new location. After the removal is
complete, read and free operations to the removed (now “indirect”) vdev must
be remapped and performed at the new location on disk. The indirect mapping
table is kept in memory whenever the pool is loaded, so there is minimal
performance overhead when doing operations on the indirect vdev.

The size of the in-memory mapping table will be reduced when its entries
become “obsolete” because they are no longer used by any block pointers in
the pool. An entry becomes obsolete when all the blocks that use it are
freed. An entry can also become obsolete when all the snapshots that
reference it are deleted, and the block pointers that reference it have been
“remapped” in all filesystems/zvols (and clones). Whenever an indirect block
is written, all the block pointers in it will be “remapped” to their new
(concrete) locations if possible. This process can be accelerated by using
the “zfs remap” command to proactively rewrite all indirect blocks that
reference indirect (removed) vdevs.

Note that when a device is removed, we do not verify the checksum of the data
that is copied. This makes the process much faster, but if it were used on
redundant vdevs (i.e. mirror or raidz vdevs), it would be possible to copy
the wrong data, when we have the correct data on e.g. the other side of the
mirror. Therefore, mirror and raidz devices can not be removed.
