Snap recreate on a 'failed' snap
This may be a fairly simple question to answer - it's just not one I can check easily.
I've got some snapshots that run and rotate on a daily basis.
Occasionally, the snap pool will fill - usually because someone does something they shouldn't.
What happens in this scenario, is that all my VDEVS become 'Failed' and cannot be 'recreated'.
I've restored to a 'fix this' script, that picks out all the 'failed' devices in a list, and does a terminate and create on them, using the same snap pool.
But I'm wondering - would symsnap recreate -force do what I want it to? E.g. recreate any Failed VDEVs.
No Events found!

Hi,
Recreate w/force will not work in this situation. Terminate is required.

Just need to be a little careful with a script that unconditionally terminates all failed sessions. If you happen to be doing a SNAP restore and the SAVE area gets full, you won't be wanting to TERMINATE the session that is involved in the restore, even though it may be in a FAILED state.
