When we started using draid, we went from having six ten-disk OSTs per OSS to 
one sixty-disk OST per OSS.  I'm unsure why one would want seven OSTs on a 
single pool, being that if the pool becomes degraded all the OSTs would with 
it.  It would be as if you made a pool with seven raidz2 vdevs and created 
seven datasets.  The datasets do not correspond to individual vdevs, but rather 
all of the datasets use all of the vdevs.
