Bingo! I unplugged one of my internal data drives (after removing it
from the ZFS mirror) and hooked up the 3TB drive.
Went into the BIOS: 3TB
Went into format: 3TB
Did a zpool create, there is a new 2.72TB pool.
Yippee! Thank you!
Now I get to spend the next month moving drives and data around. :-( Too
bad OI can't use my new (and seemingly useless) Vantec SATA card. :-(

Hi Rainer!
This is a USB-attached drive
(in a SATA/USB enclosure)
Are you sure the controller chip in your SATA/USB enclosure can
deal with more than 2TB of disk?
All such enclosures I have either truncate at 2TB or worse, they wrap
around. A disk with 3000GB (decimal) will give you just short of
2794GB (binary), and wrapped around 2TB will give you 746GB.
So I am quite sure the controller chip in your enclosure is to blame.
