If you make it a 3-way mirror, your write performance will be unaffected, but your read performance will increase 50% over a 2-way mirror. All 3 drives can read different data simultaneously for the net effect of 3x a single disk read performance. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
