I would just grow out aggr0 and save the space. There
are only a few corner cases
where having a dedicated root aggr makes any sense and they
are rare. So while it may
be nice to have, I wouldn't bother on a system of that
size. It would, indeed, be a horrible waster
of space.
With one shelf of disks, 99% of customers should set up a
single RAID-DP aggregate with a single
spare. There are exceptions, but without knowing
anything else about your environment or future
growth plans, that's what I'd do.

Would anyone recommend not using/growing aggr0 if I only have 1 disk
shelf
Currently I have 1 vol0 in agr0 (1 data disk + 2 paratiy)
I would
think that creating a second aggr would be just enormous wast of 300GB disks
What is the best practice? Should I just grow the
aggr0?
Thanks
