Hi to all
I try to add a special device to my raidz2 pool but I have an error when I try.
The command I use is zpool add Backup special raidz2 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf and this is the result
Code:
root@pbs1-d2600:~# zpool add Backup special raidz2 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf
invalid vdev specification: unsupported 'special' device: raidz

Package versions

any idea because this happens
 
Just use a triple(!) mirror!

You should create a vdev with the same redundancy level, not with the same topology.

(And a RaidZ2-vdev would be slower while the "maximize size" aspect is irrelevant.)
