Ok. That helps. I'm trying to wrap my brain around the best way to do this. I'm going to try to duplicate what you are doing and see how that works out. I'm going to create 3x 2-way mirrors. I guess I don't really *need* the raidz at this point. My biggest concern with raidz is getting locked into a configuration i can't grow out of. I like the idea of adding more 2 way mirrors to a pool.

It probably is the easiest configuration to expand if required. Ian
