Typo. You know how when you get a word in your head, it seems to get applied to everything you type? Yeah. That happened here. Thanks for the notice. Fixed.

Do you really mean “zpool set autoexpand=on tank”

I get an “invalid property” for both “set autoresize” and “set auoresize”.

Great series – thanks :-)

This is for storage space efficiency and hitting the “sweet spot” in performance. So, for a RAIDZ-1 VDEV, use three (2+1), five (4+1), or nine (8+1) disks. For a RAIDZ-2 VDEV, use four (2+2), six (4+2), ten (8+2), or eighteen (16+2) disks. For a RAIDZ-3 VDEV, use five (2+3), seven (4+3), eleven (8+3), or nineteen (16+3) disks. For pools larger than this, consider striping across mirrored VDEVs.”

this differs from http://pthree.org/2012/12/05/zfs-administration-part-ii-raidz/ ( and agrees with my math ( and you instructions :-) )
