Hi. I've been reading the ZFS admin guide, and I don't understand the distinction between 
"adding" a device and "attaching" a device to a pool?

"attach" is used to create or add a side to a mirror.
"add" is to add a new top level vdev where that can be a raidz, mirror
or single device. Writes are spread across top level vdevs.

Hope that helps. Perhaps the zpool man page is clearer.

 Neil.
