I mean with existing data on the aggregate.
To clarify, say I first create an aggregate with 14 disks (and default raid size). Then this aggregate is populated with data. After a period of time the aggregate is expanded by adding disks, say to 56 disks.
The question is, is there a difference (in performance, efficiency) between the aggregate as described above and an aggregate that was originally created from all 56 disks?

Yes... You can make hot disks happen. Do you mean without adding any data?

Is there any difference between creating an aggregate on a certain number of disks (say n) , and then later expanding the aggregate to N disks, as opposed to creating the initial aggregate on N disks?
