It's not *bad*, but as far as I'm concerned, it's wasted space. You have to deal with the pool as a whole as having single-disk redundancy for failure modes. So the fact that one section of it has two-disk redundancy doesn't give you anything in failure planning. And you can't assign filesystems or particular data to that vdev, so the added redundancy can't be concentrated anywhere. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
