1) Since this is a system that many users will depend on, use
zfs-managed redundancy, either mirroring or raid-z, between the LUNs
exported by the storage system. You may think your storage system is
perfect, but are you sure? with a non-redundant zfs, over time, you'll
know for sure, but you might find this out at a very inconvenient time.
With zfs-managed redundancy, if bit rot happens, you have an excellent
chance of slogging through without any application-visible impact.
2) Enable compression. For the software development workloads I'm
seeing, this generally recovers the space lost to redundancy.
