I currently am getting good speeds out of my existing system (8x 2TB in a RAIDZ2 exported over fibre channel) but there''s no such thing as too much speed, and these other two drive bays are just begging for drives in them....

Dear all: First, apologies for cross-posting multiplicities and for a query that is more analytically related than S-language related. The bottom-line wish is: Could you please provide and advice, references, etc on S software approaches for fitting a distribution with density: p*g(x) + (1-p)*f(x) where g(x) is the familiar lognormal 2-parameter density and f(x) is Pareto as defined below?

I''m on the way to move a backup server to using zfs based storage, but i don''t want to spend too much drives to parity (the 16 drives are attached to a 3ware raid controller so i could also just use raid6 there).

Yes, I probably should upgrade the zpool format too. Currently running snv_104. Also should upgrade to 110. If that is possible, would anyone happen to have the simple command lines to
