I have a ZFS raid with 4 samsung 500GB disks. I now want 5 drives samsung 1TB 
instead. So I connect the 5 drives, create a zpool raidz1 and copy the content 
from the old zpool to the new zpool. 

Is there a way to safely copy the zpool? Make it sure that it really have been 
copied safely? Ideally I would like a tool that copies from source to 
destination and checks that the copy went through. A night mare would be if the 
copy get interrupted, and I have to copy again. How can I be sure that the new 
invocation has copied everything, from the interruption? Using gnu commander 
feels a bit unsafe. It will only copy blindly(?), and no more. Will it tell me 
if something went wrong? 

How do you make sure the copy has been correct? Is there any utility that does 
exactly that? (Does cp warn if there was any error?)
