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+ is a synonym for
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+ is striped (no parity tiles), and is primarily intended for testing.
