Not sure why ZFS would not auto resize for you. It's the reason I have been using it for several years as my home NAS under a linux server. In my case I just replace all the disk on a RAIDZ with bigger ones and automatically resizes up.

Which forces you to waste $/GB and $$ in general on multiple higher capacity disks as opposed to just buying a single new drive.

Not that my 10 TB RAIDZ is running out of space any time soon, but as soon as Btrfs gets their shit together I'm switching. At the rate of a few blu rays a year it'll fill up sooner or later.
