Is it possible to use the zfs copies property and put the disks individually into a pool? That would give you 3TB (1.5 + 1 + .5) usable.
http://blogs.sun.com/relling/entry/zfs_copies_and_data_protection States that copies will be spread across disks. But what I don't know (and don't have a test box to figure out) is if losing a disk still kills the whole pool in spite of having multiple copies of the data. I have a sneaking suspicion is the pool would be toast. -Russ > Erik Trimble wrote: > > While the "figure it out for me and make it as big as > you can while still being > safe" magic of drobo is nice for home users, it's > less than ideal for enterprise > users that require performance guarantees. > > It would be nice if somebody created a simple tool > that, fed a set of disks, > computed the configuration required for maximum > usable redundant space. > > -- > Carson > > > > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
