So that leaves us with a Samba vs NFS issue (not
related to
ZFS). We know that NFS is able to create file _at
most_ at
one file per server I/O latency. Samba appears better
and this is
what we need to investigate. It might be better in a
way
that NFS can borrow (maybe through some better

For instance, it might be nice to create a mirror with a 100G disk and
two 50G disks. Right now someone has to create slices on the big disk
manually and feed them to zpool. Letting ZFS handle everything itself
might be a win for some cases.

If you're that bent on having maximum redundancy, I think you should

This is practically the holy grail of dynamic raid - the ability to
dynamically use different redundancy settings on a per-directory
level, and to use a mix of different sized devices and add/remove them
at will.
Well I suspect that arbitrary redundancy configuration is not
