I think ZFS identifies drives by their serial number. So you can erase a drive in a pool, and ZFS on that machine will still recognise the drive based on its serial number, and know its pool membership.
ZFS should then throw all kinds of errors once it notices that all the super locks and other FS metadata is missing. But a scrub should cause ZFS to simply fix that via normal resilvering.
