- exikyut 5y agoHuh, interesting. This appears to be specific to RAIDZ though, which I think I'm not using. I'm just using mirrors at the moment. I'm incidentally currently working through the logistics for a potential upgrade and am seriously torn about whether to switch over to RAIDZ2 or stick with a couple of independent mirror pools. The "all disks thrash on rebuild after failure" property of RAIDZ2 has me scrambling for the sequential simplicity of mirrors, but... giant contiguous datasets... hmmmmmm...
