I'm running FreeBSD inside a VM that is providing the virtual disks backed by several ZFS zvols on the host. I want to run ZFS on the VM itself too for simplified management and backup purposes.
The question I have is on the VM guest, do I really need to run a raid-z or mirror or can I just use a single virtual disk (or even a stripe)? Given that the underlying storage for the virtual disk is a zvol on a raid-z there should not really be too much worry for data corruption, I would think. It would be equivalent to using a hardware raid for each component of my zfs pool. Opinions? Preferably well-reasoned ones. :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
