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.... If I go to 10x 2TB in a RAIDZ3, will the extra spindles increase speed, or will the extra parity writes reduce speed, or will the two factors offset and leave things

...use the Pareto density form f(x) = ( a * k^a ) / ( x^{a + 1} ) ; k > 0, a > 0, x >= k as part of a mixture with a lognormal. Reparametrizing the density to f(x) = ( a * k^a ) / ( (x + k)^{a + 1} ) ; k > 0, a > 0, x > 0 seems to help but the optimization routines remain balky and / or give convergences that do not make sense to me. (I understand that starting values, scales, etc. are very important.) I suspect that the support aspect of the Pareto ( i.e. f(x) > 0 only for x >= k ) imposes an indentifiability problem with the mixing proportion parameter. Again,...

Hi, i''m new to the list so please bare with me. This isn''t an OpenSolaris related problem but i hope it''s still the right list to post to. 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). I

I currently have a 7x1.5tb raidz1. I want to add "phase 2" which is another 7x1.5tb raidz1 Can I add the second phase to the first phase and basically have two raid5''s striped (in raid terms?) 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
