Thanks in advance for the notes you take.  I'm interested to hear what you
find.

By the way, work sent me to a Nexenta course in 2010 where I learned ZFS

... and one thing that kept coming up is how users usually reach for the
RAID-Z options when stripes of mirrors would perform better and offer more
flexibility.  I thought that was notable.
