Question #1: I've seen 5-6 disk zpools are the most recommended setup.
In traditional RAID terms, I would like to do RAID5 + hot spare (13 disks usable) out of the 15 disks (like raidz2 I suppose). What would make the most sense to setup 15 disks with ~ 13 disks of usable space? This is for a home fileserver, I do not need HA/hotplugging/etc. so I can tolerate a failure and replace it with plenty of time. It's not mission critical. Question #2: Same question, but 10 disks, and I'd sacrifice one for parity then. Not two. so ~9 disks usable roughly (like raidz) Thanks.
