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
