Thank you Erik for the reply.
I misunderstood Dan's suggestion about the zvol in the first place. Now you
make the same suggestion also. Doesn't zfs prefer raw devices? When following
this route the zvol used as cache device for tank makes use of the ARC of rpool
what doesn't seem right. Or is there some setting to prevent this. It's zfs
preference for raw devices that I looked for a way to use a slice as cache.

As Darren pointed out, you can't use anything but a block device for the
L2ARC device. So my suggestion doesn't work. You can use a file or
zvol as a ZIL device, but not an L2ARC device.
