I have a bigger SSD that I plan on migrating to. Thankfully I have ZFS on the disk, is it as easy as exporting and importing pools? What if I want to increase the pool size?

Personally, I would setup the new disk, snapshot the old disk, then zfssend and zfsrecive to move the snapshot data. After the data is copied, then zfs import.

Edit: skip mbuffer. It is great over a network, but adds complexity you don't need. ~~Piping through mbuffer with as much ram as you can spare, but even a little is great.~~
