Which one might be "better" on pool that will consist of 6 disks: 6x raidz2 or 2 stripes of 3 disks in raidz? It should provide slightly less reliability (still allows for 2 disks to be off the array at a time) but the latter should improve reads since a given read only has to touch 3 spindles at a time instead of 5? -- =========================================================== Peter C.
