IMHO, this places artificial constraints on your DR site. You care about the data, you shouldn't have to worry about the exact configuration of the pool. In other words, if I have 2TB of data in a 500GB disk pool with mirrored configuration for performance, I can be happy with the DR site using large, 2TB disks. -- richard ZFS storage and performance consulting at http://www.RichardElling.com ZFS training on deduplication, NexentaStor, and NAS performance Las Vegas, April 29-30, 2010 http://nexenta-vegas.eventbrite.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
