Hi all, I'm new here and to ZFS but I've been lurking for quite some time... My question is simple: which is better 8+2 or 8+1+spare? Both follow the (N+P) N={2,4,8} P={1,2} rule, but 8+2 results in a total or 10 disks, which is one disk more than 3<=num-disks<=9 rule. But 8+2 has much better MTTDL than 8+1+spare and so I'm trying to understand how bad it would really be - what doesn't work/scale?
Thanks, Kent _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
