Just FWIW, the proper way to do online expansion with ZFS is quite
different than that of a RAID controller, as doing a regular OCE
process is quite difficult in ZFS
(due to the variable-size stripes that ZFS uses, which makes the
simple expansion of regular RAID-5 or RAID-6 not workable -

After some reading, I come back from my original idea. Main reason is
I'd like to be able to grow the fs as the need develops in time.
One could create a raidz zpool with a couple of disks, but when adding a
disk later on, it will not become part of the raidz (I tested this).
It seems vdevs
Hi freebsd-questions,
For personal use (photo/video storage), I'm looking into creating a huge
single ZFS (raidz) volume that will replace my current collection of
drives used as storage. I'm thinking 4*1TB drives in RAID5(z).
think twice before doing.
My question is regarding the flavour

Why? I've had better luck with ZFS than I've had with VINUM and GEOM
in the past, and I've put my ZFS array through alot of stress.
