Where do you read these things? The number of disks in a zvol can be optimized, depending on your desired redundancy method, total number of drives, and tolerance for reduced performance during resilvering. Multiple zvols together form a zpool. Filesystems are allocated from a zpool. 8 is not a magic number. -dsr-
