Has there been any change to the server hardware with respect to number of
drives since ZFS has come out? Many of the servers around still have an even
number of drives (2, 4) etc. and it seems far from optimal from a ZFS
standpoint. All you can do is make one or two mirrors, or a 3 way mirror and
a spare, right? Wouldn't it make sense to ship with an odd number of drives
so you could at least RAIDZ? Or stop making provision for anything except 1
or two drives or no drives at all and require CD or netbooting and just
expect everybody to be using NAS boxes? I am just a home server user, what
do you guys who work on commercial accounts think? How are people using
these servers?
