You want to use compression and deduplication and raidz2. I hope you didn't want to get any performance out of this system, because all of those are compute or IO intensive. FWIW ... 5 disks in raidz2 will have capacity of 3 disks. But if you bought 6 disks in mirrored configuration, you have a small extra cost, and much better performance. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
