I have tested zfs on a small drive and ready for move the installed system to a big drive, but I have no idea how to move the system easily to a big drive for a zfs system (for other fs', I usually use find and cpio to do the work), what is the best way to migrate the zfs system to a big drive?
Note: currently zfs pool is on a single drive, not mirrored.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what tools zfsprogs on linux offers, but look up zfs clone.

If the small drive is not to be part of the zfs array on the large drive system you can use 'zfs send' to do this. See the zfs article on our wiki. I have added links to a very good discussion on this and other zfs topics.

Using `zfs send/receive` is one of many ways.
Finally I use `zpool attach/detach` to migrate to a large drive.
zpool scrub rpool
zpool attach rpool your_old_drive_id_part2 your_new_drive_id_part2
zpool status # waiting for mirroring finishes successfully
zpool detach rpool your_old_drive_id_part2
zpool scrub rpool
Extra work needed is fixing boot manager grub2/syslinux.
