That is an inspiringly simple overview, and almost enough to encourage a leap into Free|OpenBSD. Although Aravindh does conflate "vdevs, the underlying devices" - a vdev may represent a single device (and can be considered a logical device of course) but ordinarily groups two or more physical disk like devices. Nitpicking I know, but tech types should be accurate - it makes learning easier for newbies. GnuBee, here we come :)
