I run two FreeBSD servers with a fairly boring 2x1TB mirror ZFS configured on each, so can't really answer you directly, but before I used ZFS on bare metal I experimented with it using a virtual machine and learned how to configure it how I wanted. I'd recommend doing that if possible. In the VM you can use sets of very small (less than 1 GB) virtual drives - the process is the same for much larger physical drives. Also, note that you can enlarge a ZFS pool by adding a higher capacity drive without needing to reformat (nor reboot, for that matter). That's something you can experiment with in a VM too, obviously. Regards Andrew
