Here is how I envision the Thumper NFS cluster…. I drew this up real quick, for some reason the visual representations of physical disk layouts make much more sense to me.   This configuration would give 4GB into the NFS cluster and the NFS cluster would have 8GB of connectivity to the Thumpers.  With both Thumpers presenting raidz2 pools with 2 spares and the NFS cluster creating one large raidz2 pool from the 8 iSCSI devices presented from the Thumpers, there should be a great level of redundancy in this configuration.
