Adding (removing) disks to a RAIDZ means redistributing all the data in the pool across the new set of drives (adding a drive, or freeing up a drive if enough space is available). That would be difficult to do correctly, especially since it would be slow enough that most folks would want to be a

Hello, just a quick idea that I had, I'm concerned of the lack of ZFS to expand a RAIDZ just increasing the number of drives in the RAIDZ itself. I would pay (not so much) for having it. Surely there are other people that would want to have another things working on opensolaris. There is any b
