Documentation Enhancement Request for dRAID Configuration and Recovery Groups #634

Description

@benHalfon-MB

The subject of dRAID can be somewhat difficult to follow, especially when trying to understand the relationships and structure between recovery groups, vdevs, and distributed spares in larger-scale systems.

It may be helpful to expand the documentation with additional practical examples and a deeper explanation of how recovery groups are organized and what role vdevs play within a dRAID configuration. More visual or step-by-step examples for different layouts and system sizes could also improve clarity for users who are new to the topic.

Additionally, there is an external site that contains many useful examples, explanations, and tools related to OpenZFS and dRAID. It could be valuable to reference it from the documentation, or potentially reach out to the author for approval to incorporate some of the examples and educational material into the official documentation.

Thank you for the continued work on OpenZFS and its documentation.
