[SOLVED] Planning a SCALE deployment, looking for sanity check on Vdev Structure

[Excypher]

Sorry to bring this up again. But your comment has created another question I can’t wrap my head around:

@etorix

Raidz2 can loose any two drives; striped raidz2 can loose more than two as long as there are no more than two failing drives in the same vdev.

I’m struggling to find distinction between those two raid types, my only assumption is when you say striped you mean where there are more than one vdev present?

[Davvo]

Correct. In ZFS, multiple VDEVs are always striped. He’s saying that you can lose up to 4 drives in a pool that has 2x RAIDZ2 VDEVs as long as less than 3 happen per VDEV.
