The problem is that there are at least 3 knobs to turn (space, RAS, and

Good point. then how about something more like

IMHO it is sufficient to just document this best-practice.
I disagree. The documentation has to AT LEAST state that more than 9

zpool bench raidz disk1 disk2 ... diskN
Let ZFS figure out the best way to set up your disks for you and tell
you how it should be laid out (and even offer a just do it flag that
will let it
