ZFS best resilver settings?

[aurfalien]

These settings help quicken my resilver times;

vfs.zfs.resilver_delay		0
vfs.zfs.resilver_min_time_ms	5000

Also I check the disks regularly via cron and have this set;

vfs.zfs.scrub_delay			0

As they say, HTH.

I was more interested on a technical level if adjusting the resilver priority has any statistical impact on other drives failing. Besides sectors going bad, you can also have head crashes and controller failures and all sorts of other things. I'm wondering if there's a 'best practice' for minimizing that.
