This is what i'm struggling to get my head around - the chances of losing two disks at the same time are pretty darn remote (within a reasonable time-to-replace delta), so what advantage is there (other than potentially pointless uber-redundancy) in running multiple raidz/2 vdevs? Are you not infact losing performance by reducing the amount of spindles used for a given pool? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
