I've been testing 9.1 using my VMware server and am not clear about the graphical setup of RAID 10.
I've installed 9, 3GB virtual drives, and have setup the 2 zils mirrored and 1 cache leaving six usable drives.
I am not clear about how to use the graphical interface to setup two, 3 striped drives and mirrored to the other remaining 3 drives that are striped.
Setting up RAID Z, 2 or 3 is simple, but I'm not clear about RAID 10. I need to completely understand this before buying hardware.
Finally, if I setup the 2, 3 striped drives and then mirrored using the command line (what is it), will be RAID 10 appear in the graphical interface so I'll know what the finished product looks like?
Speaking of which, is there a website or location that has a recommend hardware list?
Thanks,
