I may be misunderstanding how shares work. I have a share with the cache as primary. Is it possible for a copy of the share to be mirrored in the array?

I've run into a really bad problem today. My cache pool has a zfs mirror of 2 SSDs. In the past few days, both SSD have now failed. Never buying that branch again. I can occasionally get one of the cache drives to come online. So I want to change my config so that I can copy everything that is in the cache into the Array to get back to working until my new SSDs arrive.

Is it possible for a share to have the primary and secondary be a copy? This way, if an entire pool goes down, my shares still work.

I still don't understand why the "Start Array" needs to have ALL pools and array working. My cache is completely dead and I can't start the Array because the 'cache' pool is not valid. I should be able to start all my working pools and the disk array.

Thanks.

Nope, only if you have a script or something similar.

You can just remove the pool, click on the first pool device, and then "remove pool"
