I have a server with 4 identical 750GB Seagate drives.
I installed OpenSolaris on a slice as required and made it 25GB.
I created identical 25GB slices on the other drives.
I then created slices on each drive that used the rest of the available space.
I created a 4 way mirror of the rpool across each of the drives.
I then updated grub so each drive is bootable.
Across the 4 big slices I created a raidz array.
Final working system gives:

Any issues with doing it like this?
Thanks in advance
