Is it possible to grow a ZFS volume?

I know that a ZFS filesystem will grow to the size of the zpool that it's in, but if I create a ZFS volume (fixed size - zfs create -V 4G tank/iscsi/is1) for use as an iSCSI target, can I grow it to a larger size when I increase the size of the zpool?

Thanks :)
 
Oooo, looks cool, thanks for the help.

I've tested this on other iscsi platforms with NTFS running as the FS on the iSCSI. Basically, windows sees a bigger disk, but the ntfs partition stays the same size. Therefore I can either create a new partition in the empty space, or use diskpart and grow the ntfs partition. Works a treat.

I'll give this a go on solaris when I next get in the office. If it works, it'll be amazing :)
