Hello forum,
I have a small installation with 4 drives (2TB each) and I am trying to understand how I can create two pairs of striped disks which I can mirror then (basically a RAID-10 I would think). In the volume manager I can only select drives and then either mirror or stripe. How do I properly do this using the UI? Or do I need to use the command line to achieve this?
Here's what I tried so far, but the result is not what I expected (5.4 TB instead of 4 TB). First I created a volume with two drives and selected mirrored, then I extended the volume with two disks and selected striped.
Is that the proper way to do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I am somewhat new to ZFS (yet I know that I do not want a RAIDZ, but a simpler form since mirroring should be sufficient for my home use).
