There is a reason for this misunderstanding: a few years ago one could buy 1 TB external (USB) disks, which contained two physical 500 GB disks, probably concatenated or striped by the controller, which where presented to the outside world as one 1 TB disk. They used to call that a JBOD. Nowadays it's more common to use the word JBOD to indicate a set of individually addressable disks indeed. > JBOD isn't an extra technology ZFS needs, > it's just a way of saying it doesn't need > RAID and that standard controllers work > just fine. -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
