We can argue this until we are blue in the face but unless *a particular*
script did "su root", then there would be no way for this to fail.
I checked the source code, all scripts were always run with:
/sbin/sh
This cannot fail. It has never failed.

You can grow a RAID-Z array as long as you just add a new RAID-Z

Adding a drive to RAID-5 just makes it yet slower.

512MB will work.
Even 256MB works but requires a shrunk miniroot (I generally make one which
is only 64MB in size as opposed to the standard 170MB; the latter gives
precious little room on a 256MB system)
