Hello list@,

I'm in the middle of replacing my old hard drives with new ones on my =
ZFS NAS.
There are at least two ways to accomplish this.=20
I'm however, doing resilvering of new ones.

While doing a resilvering of one of possible four drivers I had 40-60 =
MB/s resilvering speed.
ZIL is located on a 10G partition on an Intel SLC SSD.
It toke about 24h to resilver about 1.5T.

Then I decided to create a 10G partition on another SSD(OCZ AGILITY 3 , =
MLC) and created a mirror of ZIL.
Done that, I continued to resilver the second drive out of four and =
noted significant speed drop of resilvering.
5MB/s as of now.

I understand that doing a ZIL mirror will result in performance penalty, =
but not that much?!

Box is slightly loaded and I tried to completely shutdown all services =
and disconnect it from LAN in order to isolate it, without any =
improvements in speed.


Any ideas?
Am I completely wrong in assuming that ZIL is involved in resilvering =
process?

P.S.

SSDs:
