So nobody is interested in Raidz grow support? i.e. you have 4 disks is a raidz and you only have room for a 5th disk(physically), so you add the 5th disk to the raidz. It would be a great feature for a home server and its the
only thing stopping solaris going on my home file server.

The block pointer rewrite / relocate code has already been written, so once that code is pushed back it:

will allow us to traverse all the blocks in the pool and move them around. This will be used to move all the used space off a disk so that it can be removed. But we realized that since bp relocate has to visit all the blocks in the pool, it can also be used to scrub or resilver the pool.
