This is good to know. I have considered purchasing a SSD, but have not wanted to make the investment not knowing how much it would help. It is suggested not to put zil on a device external to the disks in the pool unless you mirror the zil device. This is suggested to prevent data loss if the zil device dies. With L2arc, no such redundancy is needed. So, with a $100 SSD, if you can get 8x the performance out of your dedup'd dataset, and you don't have to worry about "what if the device fails", I'd call that an awesome investment. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
