You also pay all the costs with checksumming, ARC cache, etc. twice. Very bad idea. > >Some reported they used HAST for the SLOG as well. I do not know > >if using HAST for the L2ARC makes any sense.

Using HAST for L2ARC devices might make no sense, but they are part of the pool. So if you import the pool on another machine L2ARC device will be failed. You may experiment with importing the pool, removing current L2ARC devices and attaching machine-local L2ARC devices. This way you avoid HAST for L2ARC, but not sure how reliable can that be. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com FreeBSD committer http://www.FreeBSD.org Am I Evil?
