Tell me how to increase the virtual disk with ZFS?

[Adam Nowacki]

# zfs list md1p1
NAME    USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
md1p1   126K  1.96G    31K  /md1p1

-- on-line resize partition to occupy added disk space
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
kern.geom.debugflags: 0 -> 16
# gpart recover md1
md1 recovered
# gpart resize -i 1 md1
md1p1 resized
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0
kern.geom.debugflags: 16 -> 0

-- tell zfs about it
# zpool online -e md1p1 md1p1

-- done
# zfs list md1p1
NAME    USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
md1p1   136K  9.84G    31K  /md1p1
