Because I can't boot from 3 TB drives, I'm trying to sort out plan B for configuring my N40L.
If I stick the 250 GB disk that came w/ the system in the ODD slot and use that for the root pool w/ a 4x3 TB RAIDZ, what happens if my root pool disk fails? ZFS keeps a lot of state information in places I don't know about. My current plan B would be to use the eSATA port to mirror to an external SATA drive and then detach it. Is it reasonable to expect that I could install the detached mirror drive in the system and boot from it or is there something on the disk that says "you can't do that"? I don't need maximal uptime. What I need is easy recovery from failure w/o losing data from the RAIDZ pool. Have Fun!
