I have just started using HAST and am just wondering how other people are using HAST in a production environment.
I'm currently using striped mirrors. I did think of simply striping being as I have a copy on the other server but being as it''s not an active part of the pool, I lose all the ZFS goodness that is what I actually want.
Using striped mirrors with HAST means we only get a quarter of the storage space of the disks. Is this just a penalty we have to live with in order to achieve the availability?
I'm sure I have read negative posts about RAIDZ with HAST and that's why I have discounted it at the moment.
