[-- Attachment #1 --] I would appreciate some help understanding what drive configurations work best with zfs, if someone's got a spare moment to help me out. I've got a machine I'm putting together with 5 drive bays, and I'm trying to work out what combination of drives to use. The appeal of zfs is that I can start with relatively small drives, and replace them, on a one-by-one basis, as they either die, or I get my hands on larger ones. Is this possible? What if I have 5 200gb drives configured as a raidz pool, and then I replace one of the 200gb drives with a 400gb one. Operationally what would I do?
