I was asking about comparing putting unimportant data on rpool directly,
while multiple disks are in rpool.
So that data is written on multiple disks , not in raid0, but just to
use available space on disks.

And comparing that ZFS usage with the other approach, mentioned earlier
in the thread, where it is found out that only having every disk mounted
separately can guarantee surviving of whole files.
