raidz2 array of 8 disks, 2Xquade core, 16G Yes, it's possible to configure it as 4x2 mirrors with capacity almost 2 time less, with reliability also degraded. But since they on the same controller, performance of one pool might be dependent on access to another. -- Roman -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
