Add disk to zpool

Hi,

Quick question.

I have a data zpool that consists of 1 disk.

pool: data
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME                     STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        data                     ONLINE       0     0     0
          c0t50002AC0014B06BEd0  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

I'd like to add another disk to this zpool so we have more disk space.

I was going to run zpool add data <new disk>

Will this work?

Will I then see the additional space added dynamically to the /data mount?

Thanks,

Yes.

Yes.

Note that, unless the existing pool is (almost) empty, the data on your pool will be unbalanced so its performance would be less optimal than with an already created stripe.
