Re: [zfs-discuss] Is this storage model correct?

["Joe S"]

I had the same question last week decided to take a similar approach. Instead of a giant raidz of 6 disks, i created 2 raidz's of 3 disks each. So when I want to add more storage, I just add 3 more disks.

Huitzi,

Yes, you are correct. You can add more raidz devices in the future as
your excellent graphic suggests.

A similar zpool add example is described here:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2271/6mhupg6fu?a=view

This new section describes what operations are supported for both raidz
and mirrored configurations:

If you have any suggestions for making these sections clearer, please
drop me a note.

Thanks,

Cindy
