This past weekend I installed Ubuntu 18.04 and ZFS on Linux. Admittedly, I am a complete Linux noob and my knowledge pertains to Googling and copy and pasting commands into the terminal. Everybody has to start somewhere!
I've got some old disks I'd like to create a storage pool with just so I can get more comfortable with administering ZoL.
Here's what it looks like -

sda and sdb are 500GB disks that were from an old mirrored zpool when I tried this a few months ago. sdc and sdd are disks that I added.
My first question -
1) How do I erase a current mirrored zpool and make the disks available for a new zpool?
2) Do I need to format a disk prior to using with ZoL?
3) What commands would I use to I delete all partitions on a disk and then initialize to GPT?
4) Doing some Googling, it seems that a 4 disk mirror can be created with the command -
zpool create zfspool mirror disk1 disk2 mirror disk3 disk4
Is this correct?
