[lustre-discuss] mkfs.lustre for ZFS draid

[Cameron Harr]

Like Laura, we do one draid pool and one OST per OSS node. Having 
multiple redundancy groups in the draid doesn't give you multiple block 
devices; it's still a single pool and device. You could create multiple 
pools, but then you are perhaps defeating some of the reasons to use draid.

I'm unsure why one would want seven OSTs on a single pool, being that if the pool becomes degraded all the OSTs would with it.  It would be as if you made a pool with seven raidz2 vdevs and created seven datasets.  The datasets do not correspond to individual vdevs, but rather all of the datasets use all of the vdevs.
