You’re confusing the expansion of a ZFS pool with the expansion of a RAID-Z vdev. Throwing new disks into a pool has always been possible, adding them to an existing RAID-Z vdev isn’t (yet, block pointer rewrite and RAID-Z expansion are coming).
I run exclusively with mirrored vdev’s and have never run into issues growing my pool.

- snuxoll 8y agoThere was just a talk on it this year, it’s coming but between the time it takes to go stable in OpenZFS and the time it takes to hit downstream (FreeBSD, ZoL) it might not be for a while yet.
