Sure it's possible. That's how it works. Say with 16 disks: zpool create tank raidz1 disk1 disk2 disk3 disk4 disk5 \ raidz1 disk6 disk7 disk8 disk9 disk10 \ raidz1 disk11 disk12 disk13 disk14 disk15 \ spare disk16 Gives you a single pool containing 3 raidz vdevs (each 4 data + 1 parity) and a hot spare. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
