I'm aware that this is not an optimal setup for zfs given more
hardware resources, but currently I'm constrained by the size of the
server box, cost (it's only a home server) and such considerations.
My rationale was basically that I wanted the redundancy of a mirror,
the ease of filesystem management of zfs and the simple expandability
of raidz (in case I add a third disk later). With a mirrored setup, I
thought it would be harder to add capacity and keep redundancy with a
third disk..
What I'm curious about is why you think that a single-threaded
utility can ever be an adequate method of testing filesystem
and disk performance.
Use one of the well-known and designed disk+filesystem benchmarking
tools such as vdbench.
