This is not a constraint that ZFS forces on you. > If I have 4 disks in a raidz2 vdev and I want to add more storage in the > future, I would need add another 4 disk raidz2 vdev. > If I have multiple 2 disk mirrors in a pool and I want to add more storage > in the future, I would need to add another 2 disk mirror. And neither are these. The configuration of any vdev that you create does not constrain you with any vdevs you want to add to the pool in the future. You can start with any of your three choices above and then add any of the other three to the same pool. Now some additions may not make sense for what you want to do, but they are available. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
