A stripe of 3-way mirrors, whoa. Out of curiosity, what is the system used for? I am not doubting that there exist some uses/workloads for a system that uses 6 disks with 2 disks worth of usable space, but that's a bit of an unusual configuration. What are your system/disc specs and what kind of performance are you seeing from the pool? - Sincerely, Dan Naumov _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
