But that's really a stretch as far as solutions go. But, what you r= eally want to do is use your SSD to speed up your system; which there's a mu= ch better solution for, and it's built into ZFS. It's called an L2ARC. Basically, what this does is it specifies the entire SSD drive as a read cac= he for ZFS to use. ZFS will automatically figure out what files on your syst= em are most commonly read, and place copies of those onto the SSD; if your b= ase jails are used as commonly as you imply, they will certainly end up ther= e. First, run the 'format' command to figure out what drive your SSD is. Then, run 'zpool add cache ', like 'zpool add tank c= ache c4t2d0' Then, when you run 'zpool status', you should see the SSD drive added to the= pool, under the category 'Cache'.
