I think I'll go with the first and last suggestion to just have 2 disks in raid1. It seems that properly you'd want 2 disks in raid for the OS, 2 at least for the pool and maybe 1 for the cache.
Don't have anything big enough I could put 5 disks in.I could probably get 3 disks in. Install the OS on one and then dd that to another and put that in a drawer and have another 2 disks as the zfs pool. I might have a fiddle about and see what goes on.
