That's a lot of talking without an answer :)

So, what's the best zfs configuration in this situation?

RAIDZ uses disk space like RAID5. So the best you could do here for redundant space is (160 * 4 or 5)-160, and then use the remaining spaces as non-redundant or mirrored.

If you want to play with opensolaris and zfs you can do so easily with a vmware or parallels virtual machine.

He can't, on the hardware in question: the machine is a G4. Lee is apparently anticipating the integration of ZFS with OS X 10.5.

I would agree that, while he waits, he should rustle up a spare PC and install Solaris.

  It sounds like that is all you want to do right now.
