I'm planning a migration to PBS (from a legacy Bacula setup) for our cluster.
I have a server chassis that can host 16 SATA/SAS drives, with a planned 128GB RAM.
I normally allow for SLOG vdevs, but it seemed better to drop the SLOG and use 3x mirrors for the root and special vdevs instead.
My plan was a 3x 800GB SSD mirror for the root/rpool, and a datapool for backup storage consisting of 3x 1.92TB SSD special vdev mirror, and 12x SATA 10-18TB drives in raid1 vdevs, which makes for a 60TB to 108TB data storage capacity (up from 42TB on the legacy system).
