Ok, I'm confused by that... I was under the impression (I'm pretty illiterate about zfs still) that a raidz1 needed only about 20 % more space for parity data. Something I thought I remembered from reading `Simons Blog on zfs but not sure where now: http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/02/a-home-fileserver-using-zfs/ (Somewhere in of those articles I think) But would a mirror setup not need 100% more space? _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
