Or use something like: +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ |Boot |-M-|Boot | | ??? | | ??? | | ??? | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ | | | | | | | | | | |data |-r-|data |-r-|data |-r-|data |-r-|data | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ That is, mirror the first part of two disks for OS, then the rest of those disks and the other disks for raidz. The rest of the 3 other disks can be used for whatever.. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, st...@acc.umu.se, http://www.acc.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Umeå `- Sysadmin at {cs,acc}.umu.se _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
