I had the same question last week decided to take a similar approach. Instead of a giant raidz of 6 disks, i created 2 raidz's of 3 disks each. So when I want to add more storage, I just add 3 more disks.

Huitzi, Yes, you are correct. You can add more raidz devices in the future as your excellent graphic suggests. A similar zpool add example is described here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2271/6mhupg6fu?a=view This new section describes what operations are supported for both raidz and mirrored configurations: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2271/6mhupg6ft?a=view#gaynr If you have any suggestions for making these sections clearer, please drop me a note.
