I'm looking at this raidoptimizer spreadsheet that Richard generated, and now I'm wondering -
Couldn't I do a large stripe (like 10 disks) and then just have 3 disks marked as spare? Does it work like that? and if so, what would the pros/cons be doing a large stripe with spares vs. raidz1 or raidz2? I'm also showing a 15 disk raidz2 with 206 million MTTDL[1] years and 122,000 MTTDL[2] years, 13tb (at 1TB disk) and can suffer 2 disk failures... course only 91 iops. but the max theoretical bandwidth is over 1,000MB/sec... so many options. Trying to find a decent mix and match of iops, bandwidth, MTTDL's... _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
