Oh, you are talking about 1T drives and my servers are all 4x73G! So it's a fairly big deal since I have little storage to waste and still want to be able to survive losing one drive.

Thank you. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
