169
+ A new device type that allows for mirror-parity redundancy while using devices
170
+ of different sizes.
171
+ An AnyRAID vdev works by dividing each of the underlying disks that make it up
172
+ into
173
+ .Sy tiles \.
174
+ The tiles are then each mirrored at the desired parity level.
175
+ This allows for full redundancy, since tiles are allocated from independent
176
+ disks, while enabling maximum space usage by allocating more tiles from the
177
+ disks with the most free space.
178
+ In addition, the device can be expanded by attaching new disks, and new tiles
179
+ will be allocated from those disks.
180
+ .Sy anyraid
181

182
+ .Sy anyraid1
183
+ , which is the 2-way mirror parity version (1 parity tile).
184
+ .Sy anyraid2
185
+ is a 3-way mirror (2 parity tiles), while
186
+ .Sy anyraid0
187
