Depends on your data but sometime it could be useful to create HW RAID and then do just striping on ZFS side between at least two LUNs. That way you do not get data protection but fs/pool protection with ditto block. Of course each LUN is HW RAID made of different physical disks. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
