I know that it does but I don't like the way you lose your entire pool if a single vdev fails. I'd have less of a problem with it if a pool could distribute data such that a vdev failure results in the loss of only what was on that vdev.

Shrug. I figure losing a random half of my files is pretty much as bad as losing all of them (if I wanted to make an explicit split into two halves I could use two separate pools).
