I finally finished taking redundant backups of my main array and used it to create a new zpool with 4x (3drive Raidz) vdevs. A 400GB S3700 will be added as a SLOG device (Waiting for it to be delivered).
1. This array will be used for NFS and iSCSi data stores for esxi as well as media storage. I considered 6 mirrors but did not want to lose that extra 3 drives worth of storage for redundancy. I'm aware of the risk of losing 2 drives in the same VDEV and losing the entire pool and that is an acceptable risk. Is this an optimal way to use 12 drives from a performance standpoint? It will eventually be used over 10GBe.
2. I created the zpool in FreeNAS and imported it into Napp-IT. When I ran the smart check in napp-it, this is what I get. What does S:0 H:0 T:0 in the errors column mean?
