Ubuntu ZFS split disk
Hello all,

At the moment i'm building a home made nas/media server running ubuntu. After reading some articles about ZFS I decided to use it (at first on a virtual machine).

the machine is gonna be a AMD fusion with two 1TB disks and one 64GB ssd for the OS

This is what im trying to accomplish:
I've got a bunch of data that I realy like to hold on to (so mirroring would be nice) and I got a bunch of movies (not realy important)
So to get the max out of the two disks I want to split them both and and mirror the first partition of both disks and stripe the second pratition of both disks (so i get 1,5TB of usable data)

What I did:
added a partition table to both disks and created two ext2 partitions on both disks (couldn't make a zfs partition or I don't know how to in linux)
then i created a mirrored zfs pool of the first partitions and a striped zfs pool of the second partitions
it all seems to work great, but my question is is this the best way to do it (my doubt is the pools using the two ext partitions)

thanks in advance
