Ok, so now I feel like a fool...
You're right... It's not a raidz, but it *should* have been one. I had
tried MANY things and it was getting late (or early depending onm how
you look at it) that night when I finally got the system up...
So, i'll take my system off line in the next few days and try rebuilding
with a raidz...
I thought it was too good to be true
