Don't hold your breath. This isn't being worked on, or on
anyone's todo
list at this point, and implementing it would be pretty nontrivial.
on the other hand, the source code is out there, so anyone
sufficiently
motivated can can start working on it now...
Funny you should say that... I've been following the OpenSolaris/ZFS
story with some interest as a basis for a final year computer science
project. ZFS seems unique in its integration of RAID at the fs layer
(and it's open source :) !). My proposal is in its final stages now,
and this is one of the items I hope to be addressing.
In particular the project centres around creating redundant arrays
out of mismatched disks. The ability to to dynamically grow/shrink
the array vdev is the second focus (again with disks of not
necessarily the same size).
Anyway, I suspect you'll be hearing a lot more from me in the near
future!
Cheers,
James
