Hi,

I have these two pools, four luns each. One has two mirrors x two luns, the other is one mirror x 4 luns.

I am trying to figure out what the pro's and cons are of these two configs.

One thing I have noticed is that the single mirror 4 lun config can survive as many as three lun failures. The other config only two. I am thinking that space efficiency is similar because zfs strips across all the luns in both configs.

So that being said. I would like to here from others on pro's and cons of these two approaches.

Thanks ahead,
