I second that.
This is exactly what happened to me.

well and we're strongly considering not using ZFS because of it.
It's easy to type zpool add when you meant zpool replace - and then you can go
rebuild your box because it was the root pool. Nice.

They also mentioned this at some of the ZFS talks at LISA 2008.The general
argument is that, while plenty of hobbyists are clamoring for this, not enough
paying customers are asking to make it a high enough priority to get done.
If you think about it, the code is not only complicated but wi
If I remember right, the code needed for this has implications for a lot of
things:
- defrag
- adding disks to raidz zvols
- removing disks from vols
- restriping volumes (to give consistent performance after expansion)
In fact, I just found the question I asked a year or so back, which had a go

I've seen discussions as far back as 2006 that say development is underway to
allow the addition and remove of disks in a raidz vdev to grow/shrink the
group. Meaning, if a 4x100GB raidz only used 150GB of space, one could do
