Right, that's how it is right now (which the other guy seemed to be suggesting might change eventually, but nobody knows when because it's just not that important compared to other things). AFAIK, if you could shrink the partition whose data is after c1t0d0s4 on the disk, you could grow c1t0d0s4 by that much, and I _think_ zfs would pick up the growth of the device automatically. (ufs partitions can be grown like that, or by being on an SVM or VxVM volume that's grown, but then one has to run a command specific to ufs to grow the filesystem to use the additional space). I think zpools are supposed to grow automatically if SAN LUNs are grown, and this should be a similar situation, anyway. But if you can do that, and want to try it, just be careful. And of course you couldn't shrink it again, either.
