Define "better"? The raidz option will give you more storage at less performance.. The mirror thing has the possibility of achieving higher reliability.. 1 to 3 disks can fail without interruptions, depending on how Murphy picks them.. The raidz1 one can handle 1 disk only.. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.acc.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Umeå `- Sysadmin at {cs,acc}.umu.se _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
