Folks, I am working on an application to graphically display the details of a zpool. Here is my understanding of zpool organization. I would appreciate it if someone can correct me if I am wrong.
A pool has four parts - primary, log, spare, and cache. primary ==> one or more of [disk, mirror, raidz1, raidz2, raidz3] log ==> one or more of [disk, mirror] spare ==> zero or more of [disk] cache ==> zero or more of [disk] and mirror ==> two or more of [disk] raidz1 ==> two or more of [disk] raidz2 ==> three or more of [disk] raidz3 ==> four or more of [disk] Is this correct? Also, on the primary, can you stripe across different types of root vdevs? For example, let's say I create a pool with 3 disks of raidz2. Now, can I add 4 more disks as a new raidz3 root vdev or am I limited to adding only raidz2 type vdevs? Thank you in advance for your help.
