I was using a 5 minute interval.
I did another test with 1 second interval:

data1       41.6G  5.65G      0      0  63.4K      0
data2       58.2G  9.81G      0    447      0  2.31M

So, the 63K read bandwidth doesn't show any read operations still. Is that still rounding?
What exactly is an operation? (just any IO access?)


This could just be rounding - what interval did you use for zpool?  I believe
1 read per 5 seconds will be shown as '0' (rounded from 0.2); the read
bandwidth in your output is very small, suggesting that something like
this may be happening.

I plan to have 3 disks and am debating what I should do with them, if I should do a
raidz (single or double parity) or just a mirror.

As per some of the blog entries, I've been reading that raidz may not be that suitable for lot of
random reads.

With the # of reads below, I don't see any reason why I should consider that. I would like to
proceed with doing a raidz with double parity, please give me some feedback.

Thanks,
Anil
