So first any two disks can fail at the same time.. then after rebuilding, two more disks can fail.. until you've replaced a disk.. > The cu is happy, but I wonder if there are any other suggestions for making > this array faster or more reliable or just "better" in your opinion.

That raid set will give you the same random IO performance as a single disk. Sequential IO will be better than a single disk. For instance splitting it into two raidz2 disks without spares can survive any two disks within both groups (so 2 to 4 disks can fail without data loss).. Random IO performance will be twice the single raidz2/single disk. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.acc.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Umeå `- Sysadmin at {cs,acc}.umu.se _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
