Famous last words but i thought i read everything in the FAQ but maybe i missed 
it and i want to make sure i have this right.

a raidz is basically constant.  you can't add extra disks, you can't reduce the 
number of disks, you can't increase it size by adding some larger disks and it 
does not take advantage of say 2x 250gb and 3x 1tb disks.  it would treat them 
all as 250gb.

Also from what i have read in other posts there are no plans to change this.  

Lastly am i also right in saying there is no easy way to replace one raidz of 
say 6 250gb's with a new raidz of 4x 1tb disks? liek you replace disks in a 
raidz but instead replace raidz in a pool

thanks

Chris
