Just want to be clear about replacing a failed disk.

One can't have a valid passphrase on a pool with the system data set. And yet when replacing a failed disk: "Encrypted pools must have a valid passphrase to replace a failed disk. Set a passphrase and back up the encryption key using the pool Encryption Operations before attempting to replace the failed drive."

So many people which have no passphrase set on their main pool should relocate the system data set, then add a passphrase to the main degraded pool after which they can replace the failed disk.

Is this correct? A few hoops to jump through, yes?
