Yes, ZFS load balances across mirrors. If you add individual drives
to a ZFS pool, it will load-share across the drives. You can then add
mirrors for those dr

I assume you are asking if it is possible to create a temporary 3-way raidz,
then transfer your data to it, then convert it to a 4-way raidz ? No it is

Bob,
Does that imply that when you add zfs automatically load-balances across its
mirrors?
Does that also mean that when the drives in a mirror are not as fast as each
other, the fs

One of the joys of using mirrors is that you can add a mirror device,
and you
I was just wondering what would happen in a raidz array if one of the drives
failed? I imagine everything would work fine for reading, but will I be able to
write to the array still?
If I can write, does that mean that replacing the dead drive with a working one
will catch up the new drive? I t
