I'd like to be able to set copies= separately for data and metadata. In most cases RAID-1 provides adequate data protection but I'd like to have RAID-1 and copies=2 for metadata so that if one disk dies and another has some bad sectors during recovery I'm unlikely to lose metadata. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
