To prefix, I am rather new to ZFS. My goal is to create an internal NAS system, with minimal chance of losing all my data.
I've currently acquired four 4TB disks, and I plan to run them in a single zpool with two mirrored vdevs, like so:
pool: data
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
data ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
<disk 0> ONLINE 0 0 0
<disk 1> ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-1 ONLINE 0 0 0
<disk 2> ONLINE 0 0 0
<disk 3> ONLINE 0 0 0
When extending the zpool later with more disks, would it make sense to just keep adding mirror-2
, mirror-3
with two paired disks each?
