I have a FreeBSD 10.0 installation in a vmware guest and I'd like to expand
the zpool. Obviously it's very simple to expand the disk size within
vmware, but I just want to make sure this command - which _appears_ to work
fine - is really safe and sane to properly expand the pool to the full size
of the the new, larger disk:

zpool online -e pool /dev/da1
