You cannot add 1 drive at a time to a raid-z or raid-2z. You need to add
the same number of disks that were used per stripe.. So, if you start
with 5 disks, you would have to add 5 more in the future to add disk
space. There is also a method of swapping each disk one at a time with a
larger disk and performing a scrub inbetween each replacement to
increase the pool size.

Hmmm... I definitely missed this one... I thought the documentation said
that using zpool attach would add a new drive to the existing raidz(2) and
then it would start resilvering...

zpool(1M):

    zpool attach [-f] pool device new_device

        Attaches new_device to an  existing  zpool  device.  The
        existing device cannot be part of a raidz configuration.
