I'm reading the administration guide pdf and noticed that it claims that at the moment ZFS does not support shrinking of the pool. Will this feature be added in the future? Also expanding of raid-z is not yet supported, will this also change?
One of the reasons i switched back from X/JFS to ReiserFS on my linux box was that I couldn't shrink the FS ontop of my LVM, which was highly annoying. Also sometimes you might wanna just remove a disk from your array: Say you setup up a mirrored ZFS with 2 120gb disks. 4 years later, you get some of those fancy 1tb disks, say 3 or 4 of em and raid-z them. not only would those 120gb insignificant, but maybe they've becom a liability, they are old, replacing them ins't that easy anymore, who still sells disks that size, and why bother, if you have plenty of space.
