Hi, I posted in the Solaris install forum as well about the fileserver I'm building for media files but wanted to ask more specific questions about zfs here. The setup is 8x500GB SATAII drives to start and down the road another 4x750 SATAII drives, the machine will mostly be doing reads and streaming data over GigaE.
-I'm under the impression that ZFS+(ZFS2) is similar to RAID6, so for the initial 8x500GB two drives would be sucked into parity so I'd have a 3TB volume with the ability to lose two discs, no? -I can't add discs to the RAIDz volume so in the future for the 4x750 I'd just do a new RAIDz on them (one disc is for parity) and add it to the ZFS group. -If I do that it won't write data across both RAID volumes will it? -If I want more control over what files go on which array should I keep them as distinct volumes?
