OK, my freebsd system runs on ZFS boot. W/ solaris getting larger disks

larger one, wait for the resilvering and after this replace the second
one for a larger disk and wait for the resilvering again. That's it.
Been there, done that. But my feeling tells me it is not that simple for
a FreeBSD zfs root system, or is it?
Should be the same procedure.  Make sure you either use "zpool online -e"
when swapping in the new disks, or that you have the zpool autoexpand=on
attribute set.

But I'm confused about the gpart thing I did on the original disks.

$ gpart show
=>       34  156301421  ad4  GPT  (75G)
         34        128    1  freebsd-boot  (64K)
        162    8388608    2  freebsd-swap  (4.0G)
    8388770  147912685    3  freebsd-zfs  (71G)

         34        128    1  freebsd-boot  (64K)
        162    8388608    2  freebsd-swap  (4.0G)
    8388770  147912685    3  freebsd-zfs  (71G)

Do I repeat this gpart section on the new disk(s) before putting them in the rpool (one at a time). Is it compatrible to putting the solaris bootcode on disk before attaching them to a rootpool and resilvering? I want to expand my rootpool but am a little confused about the right procedure.
