You have: two disks of size X and one of size 2X.



You want: zpool with mirror-like redundancy of size 2X



Concatenation of the two X drives is straightforward with ZFS. But I found no way to mirror the resulting vdev (size 2X) with another 2X disk with ZFS's in-house means.



These (more or less unelegant) solutions came to my mind:




  1. Use OS tools (mdadm for Linux, gstripe for FreeBSD) to connect the two X drives to a single physical device that can be mirrored with the 2X one. But I am uneasy with the additional complexity, platform-dependence, and losing bare-metal benefits of ZFS.

  2. Subdivide the 2X drive into two partitions and create a RAID10 equivalent with four members via zpool create tank mirror /dev/Xone /dev/2Xpart1 mirror /dev/Xtwo /dev/2Xpart2 where the striped partitions are scattered over physically contiguous hardware.
