Is it possible to ZFS to keep data that belongs together on the same Pool ( or would these Questions be more related to Raid-Z ? )
that way if their is a failure only the Data on the Pool that Failed Needs to be replaced ( or if one Pool failed Does that Mean All the other Pools still fail as well ? with out a way to recover data ? ) I am Wanting to be able to Expand My Array over Time by adding either 4 or 8 HDD pools Most of the Data will probably never be Deleted but say I have 1 gig remaining on the First Pool and adding an 8 gig file does this mean the data will be then put onto pool 1 and pool 2 ? ( 1 gig pool 1 7 gig pool 2 ) or would ZFS be able to put it onto the 2nd pool instead of Splitting it ? the other scenario would be folder structure would ZFS be able to understand data contained in a Folder Tree Belongs together and be able to store it on a dedicated pool ? if so it would be great or else you would be spending for ever replacing data from backup if something does go wrong sorry if this goes in the wrong spot i could no find » OpenSolaris Forums » zfs » discuss in the drop down menu -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
