ZFS with 3 drives

[davidst95]

Moved to the RAID sub forum.  I'm not sure how to delete the message in this sub forum   Sorry

 

Hi, I hope this is the correct sub forum to ask this question.    I am trying to create a ZFS pool with 3 drives.   I would like to use 2 drives and have the third one as a parity.   When I try to create the zpool it just stripes all three drives.

 

I am using this command:

 

 zpool create -f -m /mnt/zstorage  zstorage raidz  /dev/nvme1n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme2n1p1

 

I also tried 'raidz1'

 

and when I do a 'zpool list' I get this outut

NAME       SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
zstorage  5.45T   226K  5.45T        -         -     0%     0%  1.00x    ONLINE  -

 

If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong that would be very helpful.  Thank you!
