Hello ZFS folks, Is there anyone here using a separate log device (or "ZIL") on a root pool ? # zpool add tank log gpt/zil cannot add to 'tank': root pool can not have multiple vdevs or separate logs Under 9-STABLE, using zpool v28. This seems to be a limitation from OpenSolaris. For example, FreeBSD supports booting from a multiple-vdev root pool. I found that most people use the "unset bootfs property, add vdev, set bootfs again" trick to have a working multiple-vdev root pool under FreeBSD. I think I can do the same for the log device but don't want to loose my data. Is there anyone successfuly using a log device / zil on a root pool under FreeBSD ?
