I'm not an expert on this, and I haven't tried it, so beware: 1) If the pool you want to expand is not the root pool: $ zpool export mypool # now replace one of the disks with a new disk $ zpool import mypool # zpool status will show that mypool is in degraded state because of a missing disk $ zpool replace mypool replaceddisk # now the pool will start resilvering # Once it is done with resilvering: $ zpool detach mypool <otherdisk> # now physically replace <otherdisk> $ zpool replace mypool <otherdisk> 2) if you are working on the root pool, just skip export/import part and boot with only one half of the mirror. Don't forget to run installgrub after replacing a disk.
