The standard mirror does not cope with corruption very well. Lose a disk |
| 19 |
and resilvering is fast. Corrupt the data, and you'll be tearing your |
| 20 |
hair out why things go wrong randomly, with no automated way, even once |
| 21 |
you've realised what's happened, to recover your data other than a |
| 22 |
restore from backup. |

That'd be my approach - migrate a load of stuff off onto another disk |
| 28 |
elsewhere, but that's not what the OP wants to do. |
