i have a machine with a disk that has some sort of defect and i've found that
if i partition only half of the disk that the machine will still work. i tried
to use 'format' to scan the disk and find the bad blocks, but it didn't work.
so as i don't know where the bad blocks are but i'd still like to use some of
the rest of the disk, i thought ZFS might be able to help. i partitioned the
disk so slices 4,5,6 and 7 are each 5GB. i thought i'd make one or multiple
zpools on those slices and then i'd be able to narrow down where the bad
sections are.
so my question is can i declare a zpool that spans multiple c0d0sXX but isn't a
mirror and if i can, then will zfs be able to detect where the problem c0d0sXX
is and not use it? if not, i'll have to make 4 different zpools and experiment
with storing stuff on each to find the approximate location of the bad blocks.
