MC,
If you originally had 4 * 500 GB disks configured in RAID-Z, you cannot
add 1 single disk and grow
the capacity of the pool (with same protection). This is not allowed.

My current understanding is that RAIDZ and RAIDZ2 setups CANNOT be
expanded, nor can they converted between. There has been considerable
discussion on this point, and I think the consensus is that expansion is
a highly desirable feature, but the exact timetable for adding expansion
capability
I was considering the same thing (but with 250GB drives)
and instead decided to start with 5*250GB
so that I could do raid-z2 instead
thinking that once you add one more drive
you'd rather have raidz2 than raidz
