Can I add a drive and expand a raid6? I know the feature has been
available for a while for raid5. I've looked around the internet, and
can't seem to find any up-to-date advice on this subject. I'm assuming
I can't grow a raid5 into a raid6.
Thanks,

Yes, you can grow a raid6.
You cannot convert a raid5 to a raid6 yet.  Hopefully soon, but there
are so many distractions.
