RAID10 on freeNAS 8.3.0

[Anzac]

Hi There

After lots of conflicting posts scattered across various websites i thought I'd share my experiences setting up RAID10 with ZFS
From this site i found most of the details http://www.zfsbuild.com/2010/06/03/howto-create-striped-mirror-vdev-pool/

What i had to do was run the commands using Putty to create the pool (substitute the word tank with whatever you want to call the pool)

What i found with 8.3.0 is that you need to reboot after you have run the commands.
Once rebooted you can import the configuration using Storage > Auto import Volume then create your shares.

Hope this helps

a simple

Code:

zpool export

would have saved you the reboot

Is this a valid ZFS RAID 10 setup ?

I first created a mirror (mirror-0) using disks ada0 and ada1 naming them "vault". I then extended "vault" using disks ada2 and ada3 (mirror-1). Am I understanding this correct that this creates and implied stripe? I attempted to follow the instructions posted above but to no avail because I could not run the "format" command I get the following message "bash: format: command not found".





pool: vault
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
