Using the command above that Peter gave you would get you a result similar to this NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM storage2 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 ad16 ONLINE 0 0 0 ad14 ONLINE 0 0 0 ad10 ONLINE 0 0 0 ad12 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 da2 ONLINE 0 0 0 da0 ONLINE 0 0 0 da1 ONLINE 0 0 0 da3 ONLINE 0 0 0 The actual setup is a RAIDZ1 of 1.5TB drives and a RAIDZ1 of 500GB drives with the data striped across the two RAIDZs. In your case it would be 7 drives in each RAIDZ based on what you said before but I don't have *that* much money for my home file server. > so essentially you're tleling me to keep it at raidz1 (not raidz2 as > many people usually stress when getting up to a certain # of disks, > like 8 or so most people start bringing it up a lot) This really depends on how valuable your data is.
