If the install-point of the software defaults to /opt/mysql you could just as easily mount a new filesystem in tank mounted onto the point you need it. Example: zfs create -o mountpoint=/opt/mysql tank/mysql I don't see a distinction that MATTERS between these choices. Pick one. You ask as though you think there's some deep decision being made here when there isn't. I would personally choose a 3-disk RAID-1 or a 4-disk RAID10 set for tank over RAIDZ any day. Safety matters most to me these days not disk space. With a 3-disk mirror you'd have a disk left over to be hot spare for failure in either rpool or tank. If you put all 4 into a RAID-10 set you'd have better performance and more space with a bit less safety. Choose. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
