It is too bad ZFS does not have online RAID 5 expansion otherwise I’d be all over this. Their solution to expanding a RAID 5 ZFS pool is to make another RAID 5 array and add it to the pool, not very cost effective. I had read that they had real RAID 5 expansion in the works and I hope the implement it soon.
