Hi all,

I'm actually running ZFS under FreeBSD. I've a question about how many
disks I «can» have in one pool. 

At this moment I'm running with one server (FreeBSD 9.0) with 4 MD1200
(Dell) meaning 48 disks. I've configure with 4 raidz2 in the pool (one on
each MD1200)

On what I understand I can add more more MD1200. But if I loose one MD1200
for any reason I lost the entire pool. 

In your experience what's the «limit» ? 100 disk ? 

How FreeBSD manage 100 disk ? /dev/da100 ? 

Regards.

JAS
