we want to build a new 16-drive RELENG_9 server on which we intend to
run a bunch of vboxen. a couple of years ago, we built a 16-drive
server. based on advice here not to just do a big raidz, it was
configured as eight mirrors
tank ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
label/m00-d01 ONLINE 0 0 0
label/m00-d00 ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
label/m01-d00 ONLINE 0 0 0
label/m01-d01 ONLINE 0 0 0
and so forth. is this still the best advice for performance?
and is there a url for building a bootable RELENG_9 zfs-only system?
last i looked there were a half dozen all somewhat different.
thanks for clue.
