I did it like this: http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2011/05/03/another-root-on-zfs-howto-optimized-for-4k-sector-drives/ > (My preferred partitioning: > > ada1: > 1 freebsd-boot > 2 freebsd-swap 8G > 3 freebsd-zfs 4G (zil) > 4 freebsd-zfs 17G (cache) > > ada0: Managed by ZFS, ~250G Main filesystem. You show the boot partition on ada1, but you do not tell if ada0 has a boot partition too or not. Did you try to have the boot partition on the same disk as the pool? I hope ada1 is a SSD. If not, it does not make much sense to have a cache there (a cache needs to have lower latency than the main pool, I do not expect that just another spindle gives a significant perf improvement).
