Not that useless, if the SSD has a faster write time and you are doing lots of writes to the ZFS pool. ;) > iirc# zpool upgrade > This system is currently running ZFS pool version 28. > > All pools are formatted using this version. Ok, so the most obvious reason is out (that ZILs can't be removed under the version of ZFS that ships with 8.2), but it means you must have a patched kernel, or be running -CURRENT. It's possible this is a bug in the ZFS code. It might be worth taking this to the CURRENT list. How are you trying to remove the ZIL? Are you just pulling the drive or are you running a 'remove' first? (Just checking...) Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
