They're attempting to communicate with the OP, who made it pretty clear that he was comfortable with traditional RAID terms, and trying to understand ZFS. > What you guys are effectively doing is calling a mule a "horse" > because it has four legs, two ears, and a tail, like a donkey. They're short-circuiting that discussion, and we can have it later if necessary. The differences you're emphasizing are important for implementation, and performance analysis, and even for designing the system at some levels, but they're not important to the initial understanding of the system. The question was essentially "Wait, I don't see RAID 10 here, and that's what I like. How do I do that?" I think the answer was responsive and not misleading enough to be dangerous; the differences can be explicated later.
