There are general well-known rules about behaviour of various RAID levels, which should also hold for ZFS. > What would be the preferred layout from an performance POV? What kind of performance? read / write, sequential, scattered? One or more heavy users (applications)? All users behave the same or some are sequential and some are scattered? As a rule of thumb, if you don't know the parameters of disk access, with this many drives you won't make a big mistake if you put them all in a single raidz (you should consider purchasing one more drive and using it as either spare drive or make a raidz2 out of all drives togethe= r). --------------enig528E97755FC02D64B884B1A9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHTYpEldnAQVacBcgRApqpAJ0ZCQEJdoxTYz5EAeJBzvv/h8pwOwCg91dy Q930OxyL6BN4tlK3fp/rqpU= =vVxR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig528E97755FC02D64B884B1A9--
