ZFS Mirror versus Hardware Mirror
I've looked a little but haven't found a solid answer, assuming there is one.
What's better, hardware mirroring or ZFS mirroring? Common practice for us was to use the raid controllers on the Sun x86 servers. Now we've been using ZFS mirroring since U6. Any performance difference? Any other issues of one over the other?

#include <fribidi.h>
fribidi_boolean fribidi_set_mirroring(fribidi_boolean state);
PARAMETERS

DESCRIPTION
This function is used to turn character mirroring on or off. Character mirroring is the act of replacing a mirrorable glyph (character),
eg. Left paranthesis, with the matching glyph, eg. Right paranthesis, in a right-to-left resolved context. If your rendering engine does
mirroring itself, you may want to turn it off here.
This flag is on by default. This function is deprecated and only used with other deprecated functions.

The new mirroring status.
