BTW, I'm noticing the removal of vfs.zfs.zil_disable as well - It's not listed
as a sysctl when I check vfs.zfs, but I see it's still in the source code;
In usr/src/sys/cddl/ :
# grep -r zil_disable *
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/sys/zil.h.orig:extern int
zil_disable;
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/zil.c.orig:int zil_disable = 0;
/* disable intent logging */
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/zil.c.orig:TUNABLE_INT("vfs.zfs.zil_disable",
&zil_disable);
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/zil.c.orig:SYSCTL_INT(_vfs_zfs,
OID_AUTO, zil_disable, CTLFLAG_RW, &zil_disable, 0,
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/zfs_vfsops.c.orig: if
(zil_disable) {
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/zvol.c.orig: if (bp->bio_cmd
== BIO_FLUSH && !zil_disable)
I know Sun was trying to move away from allowing people to disable the ZIL, but
was this by design in the FreeBSD port, or are we just missing some code to
link the sysctl up with the code to easily disable the ZIL?
I'll try setting zil_disable=1 in the source tomorrow and recompile to see if
it works. It's such a huge speed increase for some operations (80MB/sec with
ZIL, 450 MB/sec without ZIL) that I still use zil_disable.
I'll also have to check my 9.0-CUR v28 patch, although I assume it's the same.

PS: saving my 5MB files over the network , went from 40-55s with v15 to a
constant 16s with v28... I can't test with ZIL completely disabled , it seems
that vfs.zfs.zil_disable has been removed, and so did
vfs.zfs.write_limit_override _______________________________________________
