The raidz2 option will *not* restrict your possibilities of expansion. For example, it is perfectly possible to add a mirror to a pool consisting of single raidz2 vdev. Plus, compared to 3 2-disk mirrors, a 6-disk raidz2 offers more usable space and is more reliable. -marc _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
