Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH installer] zfs: allow RAID0 with different-sized disks

[Stoiko Ivanov <s.ivanov@proxmox.com>]

Thanks for the patch!

checked the git-log when and how this got introduced in the first place
and it's been like that since zfs raid configuration was introduced...

I think the change makes sense - in addition to the case of RAID0 with
different sizes, it would also prevent RAID10 with the mirror pairs having
different size (2x 15G and 2x 10G in my tests) - which I also can imagine
is a use-case for some users
