In general - yes, but it really depends. Multiple synchronous writes of any
size
across multiple file systems will fan out across the log devices. That is
because there is a separate independent log chain for each file system.

Thanks for all the input. It seems information on the performance of the
ZIL is sparse and scattered. I've spent significant time researching this
the past day. I'll summarize what I've found. Please correct me if I'm
wrong.

Or, depending on your application, leave it that way permanently. I know,
for the work I do, most systems I support at most locations have
sync=disabled. It all depends on the workload.

individually. ZFS will stripe across these in a raid0 or raid10 fashion
depending on how you configure.

Thanks Neil, we always appreciate your comments on ZIL implementation.

The ZIL code chains blocks together and these are allocated round robin
among slogs or
if they don't exist then the main pool devices.
So, if somebody is doing sync writes as

I'm in the planing stages of a rather larger ZFS system to house
approximately 1 PB of data.
I have only one system with SSDs for L2ARC and ZIL, The ZIL seems to be
the bottle neck for large bursts of data being written.I can't confirm
this for sure, but the when throwing enough data at my
I found something similar happening when writing over NFS (at significantly
lower throughput than available on the system directly), specifically that
effectively all data, even asynchronous writes, were being written to the
ZIL, which I eventually traced (with help from Richard Elling and others

How can I determine for sure that my ZIL is my bottleneck? If it is the
bottleneck, is it possible to keep adding mirrored pairs of SSDs to the ZIL to
make it faster? Or
