No, the RAID was set-up in one go right after jumpstarting the box.

I need to read about his a bit and will try to analyze it.

Without doing too much statistics (yet, if needed I can easily do that)
it looks like these:

the iops vary between about 70 - 140, interesting bit is that the first
raidz2 does not get any hits at all :(
