Maybe.  I would love to help if I can, w/o disrupting my existing
carefully planned physical disk layouts.  I'm a zfs novice here, do I
need free space unallocated to existing zpools, or can I shrink an
existing pool?  (assuming that zfs can transmute lead into gold, with
the right incantations).  I have plenty of "free" space allocated to
existing pools that span my physical drives.

If I have to add a physical drive (that's possible, but it will be a
slow drive sitting on my shelf) then I need to wait until I get back
from holiday travels.

Best,
Russell
