I'm a little confused by the first poster's message as well, but you lose some benefits of ZFS if you don't create your pools with either RAID1 or RAIDZ, such as data corruption detection. The array isn't going to detect that because all it knows about are blocks. -Nate This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
