[zfs-discuss] Best practice for ZFS on boot disk - use HW RAID? or ZFS Mirroring?

2008-11-18 Thread Raymond Scott
I'm very glad to see ZFS for boot available now. We have begun to use X4150 servers and had settled on using the built-in HW RAID for mirroring the drives in pairs. Two for Boot, two for data etc... Is it a good idea to first create a HW RAID mirror and then install the OS using ZFS on that

Personally, I did ZFS Mirroring for the boot and RAID-Z2 for the data. The primary reason I did ZFS Mirroring instead of HW Mirroring for the boot is that my motherboard did the hybrid hw raid and required reboot to fix it in case of failure. With ZFS mirroring, it's hot swappable. Malachi On
