I read a forum post claiming that FreeBSD's ZFS v13 will not continue to function normally when the dedicated ZIL devices dies or goes away. Apparently the Solaris version of ZFS does support losing the ZIL. So can somebody confirm what happens in FreeBSD 8.1 (ZFS v14)? Here's the forum post: *If you are going to split the ZIL onto a separate device, then you ***MUST* ** make it a mirrored vdev. If the ZIL device ever dies, the entire pool goes with it!! ZFSv13 (in FreeBSD 8) doesn't support the removal of ZIL devices.* http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=9859 Thanks for your responses. --Gil Vidals / VMRacks.com
