I need help on this and don't know what to give to customer.

System is V40z running Solaris 10 x86 and customer is trying to create 3 disks as Raidz. After creating the pool, looking at the disk space and configuration, he thinks that this is not raidz pool but rather stripes. THis is what exactly he told me so i'm not sure if this makes sense to all of you.

Any assistance and help is greatly appreciated.

THank you in advance,
Arlina

The pool status:
# zpool status
 pool: pool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:

       NAME        STATE (B    READ WRITE CKSUM
       pool        ONLINE       0     0     0
         raidz     ONLINE       0     0     0
           c1t2d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c1t3d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c1t4d0  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors


The df -k output of te newly created pool as raidz.
# df -k
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
pool                 210567168      49 210567033     1%    /pool

I can create a file that is large as the
stripe of the 3 disks. So the information reported is correct. Also,
if I pull a disk out, the whole zpool fails! There is no degraded
pools, it just fails.
