I've got a server at home that I'm about to set up. I'll be moving 3x 500GB SATA disks into it from a different machine, so the config of those is set. What I need help with is the other disks. I'm not sure what the best way to use them is.
I want to do ZFS Boot, so I'm limited to what config I can use for these other disks. I have 4x 73GB 15K rpm SAS disks. I'll need to run at least two of them in a mirror for the OS. The question is, how do I use the other two? I'd like to at least use them for ZIL, and possibly L2ARC, but the question is this: Am I better off running drives 3 and 4 as a mirror for ZIL/L2ARC or am I better off using the SAS controller to create two stripes of two disks each and then use ZFS to mirror what's left over, leaving space for ZIL/L2ARC. Thoughts? -brian -- "Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries.
