It isn't exactly like a raid-10, as zfs doesn't to a typical raid-0 stripe, per se. It is the same basic concept as raid-10 though. You would be striping across all of the mirrored sets, not just a subset. So you would do: zpool create tank mirror drive1 drive2 mirror drive3 drive4 mirror drive5 drive6 mirror drive7 drive8 See here: http://www.stringliterals.com/?p=132 <http://www.stringliterals.com/?p=132> --Tim
