You can add a remote disk to a #ZFS mirror using ggatec(8) on #freebsd and the the ZFS pool happily resilvers to the remote disk connected via #geomgate.
@feld I stopped all jails and VMs that relied on the pool for the reasons you just addressed. On the other hand, this is worth exploring and I do this stuff in my home lab after all :)
definitely valuable to be able to stream a copy to a remote block device though... I'd probably have attempted this with iSCSI instead but ggated is probably more efficient

I don't believe you can currently change any type of priority/QoS for members in a zpool to avoid sending reads to a disk that isn't as fast
