I've got remote console access, but the system has the root disk on the same zfs pool, so I can't simply export and reimport the pool from single user mode. :/ Any ideas on how to achieve this then?

Ok, so it looks like zpool has an autoexpand setting... I've switched it on, but it hasn't expanded. Perhaps it only expands when it's loaded? Another reboot in order then.....
