I need to increase my zpool size but cannot do it (at least not easily) by adding new devices.
As I understand if I were to add new devices it would automatically increase the available space as if its autodetected.
What I have done is swapped the 2 4 gig drives for 2 8 gig drives, did one at a time so it resilvered etc. and all is fine on that side of things. However my zpool is still 4 gig.
ufs and other filesystems can be increased in size to fit larger hdd's, is it not possible on zfs?
as usual I find solution myself right after posting
still this post will serve to help others.

I then had to detach and reattach one of the disks so it picked up the change.
