I think I just decided to not go too far in saving that last cent...
(Can't say "dollar" in Europe, but "cent" is as european as raspberry
pie... :-) ) so I'll buy 3 new disks, split the original mirror to get a
4th and leave the original other mirror half as extra storage for my
login/desktop server after migrating the data.
Or maybe even buy a 4th disk outright.
Seagate NAS 5900 rpm disks are reasonably cheap.

It could reside on a much smaller disk. And smaller disks I have a
bagload of.
No, initially the space is not used - so it can be a huge sparse file.
I believe "mkfile -n" is what I've used, but may remember incorrectly.
It should "seem" as large as your other drives so that the pool is made
big enough; otherwise it is limited by the smallest of the devices.
And before you copy data into this pool, do remember to export it and
delete the file. Just deleting won't cut it, an "opened" file remains
on the filesystem until all processes that use it, finally do close it.
