[zfs-discuss] Global Spare for 2 pools

2010-08-10 Thread Tony MacDoodle
I have 2 ZFS pools all using the same drive type and size. The question is can I have 1 global hot spare for both of those pools? Thanks ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
