Tell me how to increase the virtual disk with ZFS?

[Alexander Yerenkow]

There's no mature (or flexible, or "can do what I want" ) way to
increase/decrease disk sizes in FreeBSD for now {ZFS,UFS}.
Best and quickest way - to have twice spare space, copy data, create new
sufficient disk and copy back.
