You really should use ZFS's mirroring rather than the BIOS RAID1. The main reason is that if ZFS finds a checksum error, but is only configured as a stripe across a single virtual disk (the RAID1), then it will not be able to correct the error. ZFS also has a better load balancing algorithm for using the mirrored disks when it controls the mirror. I will investigate this bug, but the ZFS portion of the installer is not intended to be used with graid, but rather in place of it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.help
