Ok, previous threads have lead me to believe that I want to make raidz vdevs [0] either 3, 5 or 9 disks in size [1]. Let's say I have 8 disks. Do I want to create a zfs pool with a 5-disk vdev and a 3-disk vdev? Are there performance issues with mixing differently sized raidz vdevs in a pool? If there *is* a performance hit to mix like that, would it be greater or lesser than building an 8-disk vdev?
-brian [0] - Just for clarity, what are the "sub-pools" in a pool, the actual raidz/mirror/etc "containers" called. What is the correct term to refer to them? I don't want any extra confusion here. ;) [1] - For RAID-Z. How does RAID-Z2 effect this? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
