No the slog is not the ZIL!
Here's the definition of the terms as we've been trying to use them:
ZIL:
The body of code the supports synchronous requests, which writes
out to the Intent Logs
Intent Log:
A stable storage log. There is one per file system & zvol.
slog:
An Intent Log on a separate stable device - preferably high speed.
We don't really have name for an Intent Log when it's embedded in the main
pool. I have in the past used the term clog for chained log. Originally before
slogs existed, it was just the Intent Log.
