If the device itself was full, and items were falling off the L2ARC, then I
could see having two
separate cache devices, but since I am only at about 50% utilization of the

maxing out the IO, then mirroring seemed smarter.

Just be clear: mirror ZIL by all means, but don't mirror l2arc, just
add more devices and let them load-balance. This is especially true
if you're sharing ssd writes with ZIL, as
For those following the saga:
With the prefetch problem fixed, and data coming off the L2ARC instead of
the disks, the system switched from IO bound to CPU bound, I opened up the
throttles with some explicit PARALLEL hints in the Oracle commands, and we
were finally able to max out the single SSD:
OK, that was the magic incantation I was looking for:
- changing the noprefetch option opened the floodgates to the L2ARC
- changing the max queue depth relived the wait time on the drives, although
I may undo this again in the benchmarking since these drives all have NCQ
I went from all four di

Thanks Brendan,
I was going to move it over to 8kb block size once I got through this index
rebuild. My thinking was that a disproportionate block size would show up as
excessive IO thruput, not a lack of thruput.
The question about the cache comes from the fact that the 18GB or so that it
says is

I have a similar question, I put together a cheapo RAID with four 1TB WD Black
(7200) SATAs, in a 3TB RAIDZ1, and I added a 64GB OCZ Vertex SSD, with slice 0
(5GB) for ZIL and the rest of the SSD for cache:

I don't think adding an SSD mirror to an existing pool will do much for
performance. Some of your data will surely go to those SSDs, but I don't think
the solaris will know they are SSDs and move blocks in and out according to
usage patterns to give you an all around boost. They will just be use
