Forgive me if this is a repeated question. I am new to FreeNAS and have been searching the forums for an answer for a while now. Maybe I am just not understanding the terms or something...
I am building a FreeNAS box with 8 hard drives. I want to set up 2 raidz volumes that each use 4 drives. I then want to mirror the 2 volumes, very similar to how an HP LeftHand SAN works. Is this possible and, is this a good idea if possible? I have read that this might be possible using replication but that seems like quite a bit more overhead than a simple mirror set. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
