That's very annoying, but if "copies" could have saved you, then pool redundancy could have also saved you. > For a single-disk box, "copies" IS the redundancy. ;) Ok, so the point is, in some cases, somebody might want redundancy on a device that has no redundancy. They're willing to pay for it by halving their performance. The only situation I'll acknowledge is the laptop situation, and I'll say, present day very few people would be willing to pay *that* much for this limited use-case redundancy. The solution that I as an IT person would recommend and deploy would be to run without "copies" and instead cover you bum by doing backups. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
