Yes, I know that this will work and what I thought of. But I was thinking that perhaps ZFS would be able to attach to the read-only pool. At the moment it is likely not willing to attach to read-only devices since part of its function depends on writing. > The "problem" here is that by putting the data away from your machine, > you loose the chance to "scrub" > it on a regular basis, i.e. there is always the risk of silent > corruption. Running a scrub is pointless since the media is not writeable. :-) > I am not an expert, but the MTTDL is in tousands of years when using > raidz2 with a hot-spare and regular scrubbing.
