ok maybe i should rewrite my question in a better way.
My data is mostly made up of things i can afford to lose but would very much

1. In zfs can you currently add more disks to an existing raidz? This is
important to me as i slowly add disks to my system one at a time.
2. in a raidz do all the disks have to be the same size? This is the one thing
that has always been a pain with a raid 5 as you need
