Hi, just wondering if I can get any ideas on my situation. I've used ZFS a lot with equal sized disks and am extremely happy / amazed with what it can offer. However I've encountered a few people who want to use ZFS but have a bunch of different disks but still want the max size of usable space possible.
Take an example: 3 x1TB and 2 x500GB disks. Is there any way the 2x500GB disks could be put into a stiped pool that could then be part of a 4 x1TB RAIDZ pool? If they were all put in a RAIDZ pool as is, it would treat all the disks as 500GB and lose the rest of the space - is that correct? I know that in this case they could go out and get a very cheap 1TB HDD to resolve this, but it's more the idea because I'm seeing lots of people with different disks who want to squeeze the most space possible out of them. Any ideas would be great!
