Hi Bob ... as richard has mentioned, allocation to vdevs is done in a fixed sized chunk (richard specs 1MB, but I remember a 512KB number from the original spec, but this is not very important), and the allocation algorithm is basically doing load balancing. for your non-raid pool, this chunk

I am new to Solaris. I have Sun X2100 with 2 x 80G harddisks (run as email server, run tomcat, jboss and postgresql) and want to run as mirror to secure the data. Since ZFS cannot be used as a root file system , does that mean I am no way can benefit from using ZFS? Instead, I should stick with
