So your setup is wrong. The ZIL is supposed to be one-on-one with the pool. You should move the ZILs to the JBOD. You can make a mirror of the ZIL devices to improve failsafe operation by redundancy. I figured that out with mirror, thus my tests with slices - one slice on local SSD (per HU) the second half of the mirror on JBOD-slice (dedicated SSD there too). But this requires extra 'zpool online' and 'zpool replace'. As I understand there is no other way?? I'm forced to do those steps? ZIL dev. on JBOD is a bit odd - the idea with local (per HU) ZIL is to postpone transfer of the data over SAS Expander. Or at least buffer and then move over SAS Exp. . //mxb
