- They added fast metadata storage devices to their zfs pools. Since failure of these metadata device groups mean the whole storage pool is lost, they've set them up to have a similar level of redundancy to the rest of their system (i.e. it's fine as long as 4 devices don't all fail in a very short span of time).
