If you want any kind of data guarantee, you need to go for a mirrored
pool. If you don't want a data guarantee, you can create a single pool
(non-mirrored) of the two devs which will give you 500Gb. The key is
in the 'zpool create' command
zpool create twofifty mirror disk1 disk2
zpool create fivehundred disk1 disk2

Hello,
I'm sure this question has been asked many times already, but I
couldn't find the answer myself. Anyway I have a laptop with 2
identical hard disks 250Gb each, I'm currently using Linux on RAID0
which gave me ~500Gb..
I'm planning to switch to FreeBSD but I want to know before I do,
what can I get with these hard disks? do I get ~500Gb or less? can
ZFS be setup to use RAIDz with only 2 hard disks ?
Thank you
