zfs discuss - Aug 2010 - Global Spare for 2 pools

I have 2 ZFS pools all using the same drive type and size. The question is
can I have 1 global hot spare for both of those pools?

Thanks

Yes. A hot spare disk can be added to more than one pool at the same time.

Yes, as long as the pools are on the same system, you can share
a spare between two pools, but we are not recommending sharing
spares at this time.

We''ll keep you posted.

Thanks,

Cindy
