so i think there is a bug here....
Nope. Currently, you have expand your pool with a vdev that same as the existing one. So, you would have to expand it with four more disks. There is a change to zfs (not the plugin) in the works but not available yet.

I think this is not the normal behavior of zfs ... e.g. truenas allows to expand/extend a 4 disk pool with just one disk or 2, in my case you telling me that I needs others 4 disk to expand/extend my 4 disk pool otherwise I could not do it any other way?
Will this change you working on allow people to expand a pool with another single disk?
I'm not working on it. This is zfs development not the plugin. I only maintain the plugin.

I don't know anything about truenas but maybe it is using the development branch of zfs?? Maybe truenas is creating pairs of mirrors? Please read this - https://louwrentius.com/zfs-ra…f%20you%20run,vdevs%20can't%20be%20expanded. Single disk expansion isn't expected until Aug 2022.

I'm just telling you what I know about zfs. Maybe it is wrong since I'm not a zfs expert. Feel free to research but the article I linked to seems to confirm what I was telling you.
Will zfs implement the ability to add disks like mdadm already does?
The article I linked to tells you that it is coming.
by the way have you tried to simulate a broken disk?
Nope. I don't use raid anymore since there is no reason to. I did switch to zfs but only use single disk vdevs.
