The section entitled "Does ZFS work with SAN-attached devices?" does not
make it clear the (some would say) dire effects of not having pool
redundancy. I think that FAQ should clearly spell out the downside; i.e.,
where ZFS will "say" (Sorry Charlie) "pool is corrupt".
A FAQ should always emphasize the real-world downsides to poor decisions
made by the reader. Not delivering "bad news" does the reader a
dis-service IMHO.
