Is mirrors really a realistic alternative? I mean, if I have to resilver a raid with 3TB discs, it can take days I suspect. With 4TB disks it can take a week, maybe. So, if I use mirror and one disk break, then I only have single redundancy while the mirror repairs. Reparation will take long time and will stress the disks, which means the other disk might malfunction.
Therefore, I think raidz2 or raidz3 that allows 2 or 3 disks to break while you resilver. Hence, mirror is not a realistic alternative when using large disks. True/false? What do you guys say? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
