You could try zpool create my_disk \ raidz disk1 disk2 disk3 disk4 disk5 \ raidz disk6 disk7 disk8 disk9 disk10 \ raidz disk11 disk12 disk13 disk14 disk15 \ spare disk16 This will give you 12 (metric) TB which is almost 11 TB as seen by the computer. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
