OK cool. One last question. Reading the Admin Guid for ZFS, it says: [i]A more complex conceptual RAID-Z configuration would look similar to the following: raidz c1t0d0 c2t0d0 c3t0d0 c4t0d0 c5t0d0 c6t0d0 c7t0d0 raidz c8t0d0 c9t0d0 c10t0d0 c11t0d0 c12t0d0 c13t0d0 c14t0d0 If you are creating a

Thanks! By single drive mirrors, I assume, in a 14 disk setup, you mean 7 sets of 2 disk mirrors - I am thinking of traditional RAID1 here. Or do you mean 1 massive mirror with all 14 disks? This is always a tough one for me. I too prefer RAID1 where redundancy is king, but the trade off for

The chown may affect access - possibly due to user ACE versus owner@ ACE behavior. A user ACE always refers to the specific user mentioned in the ACE. An owner@ ACE applies to the current owner of the file, which changes with chown. owner@ represents the typical, expected behavior on UNIX but
