So that leads me to my second question then:  If I buy a 7410 with a single
JBOD attached, can I easily attach a second JBOD and grow the pool?  It
would seem the logical answer is "yes", since growing the pool would just
require adding an/many additional vdev's.  Some of the literature seems to
suggest otherwise though.  I can totally understand the issue with adding
one, or just a few additional disks to the pool, but if you were to double
the number of disks, in theory, that should be fairly seamless.

Thanks,
