Thanks for the follow-up.

Regarding the BIOS... I tend to install the OS on, and boot from, a
smaller drive than 2TB.  I leave the array for data-only usage.  My
next iteration will probably boot from a ZFS mirror, but it will
still be separate from the larger data array, so 2TB BIOS issues
won't be a concern.
