Thanks Edward. I'm in two minds with mirrors. I know they provide the best performance and protection, and if this was a business critical machine I wouldn't hesitate.
But as it for a home media server, which is mainly WORM access and will be storing (legal!) DVD/Bluray rips i'm not so sure I can sacrify the space. 7x 2 way mirrors would give me 7TB usable with 1 hot spare, using 1TB disks, which is a big drop from 12TB! I could always jump to 2TB disks giving me 14TB usable but I already have 6x 1TB disks in my WHS build which i'd like to re-use. Hmmmmmmm....! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
