ZFS doesn't do it as you phase in disks, but once you've replaced all of them you get the extra capacity.

- pedrocr 4y agoLinux raid does that already. You can also add disks to grow an array or change it from raid5 to raid6. The gradual phase-in is what's missing. It makes sense as having what is effectively a raid0 of a 4 drive raid6 and a 6 drive raid6 in the example is a more complex configuration with uneven performance across the array. But for a home NAS meeting the reliability with maximum space ends up being all that counts.
