Hi,
I want to know if is possible this scenario: Use ZFS on a system with two drives configured as ZFS soft RAID1 (mirror). Then add a third drive to ZFS mirror pool, wait for sync and then remove the third drives and use it as an offsite backup. So most of the time the system (configured as a 3 ZFS mirrored drives) will work only with two drives. My question is: would the ZFS file system work slower being in degraded mode?
Is it ok this approach?
