Very noob question about setting up a small FreeNAS server for home use. I'm sure this has been answered before but I searched and read through a number of similar threads (as well as the FAQ presentation) and couldn't quite wrap my head around this.
I created a zpool with 1 vdev of 2x3TB drives mirrored, I then extended the zpool with another vdev of 2x2TB drives. When adding the second vdev I think I wanted to select the "mirror" option in the GUI (creating a RAID10 equivalent) but I selected "stripe" instead. I'm not sure, logically, what this setup looks like now. Is the data in the striped vdev just striped across those 2 drives, such that a hard drive failure in either of them would lose all the data on only those 2 drives? Or does this configuration mean that a failure in either of the 2TB drives will lose the data in the entire zpool?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
