Thx all, I understand now.
BR, Jeffry
if an application requests a synchronous write then it is commited to
ZIL immediately, once it is done the IO is acknowledged to application.
But data written to ZIL is still in memory as part of an currently open
txg and will be committed to a pool
Sometimes people get confused about the ZIL and separate logs. For
sizing purposes,
the ZIL is a write-only workload. Data which is written to the ZIL is
later asynchronously
written to the pool when the txg is committed.
Right; the tgx needs time to transfer the ZIL.

I think Y is such a variable and complex number it would be difficult to give a
rule of thumb, other than to 'test with your workload'.
My server, having three, five disk raidzs (striped) and an intel x25-e as a zil
can fill my two G ethernet pipes over NFS (~200MBps) during mostly sequential

I think you misunderstand the function of the ZIL. It's not a journal,
and doesn't get transferred to the pool as of a txg. It's only ever
written except
after a crash it's read to do replay. See:

Hi all,
Are there any recommendations regarding min IOPS the backing storage pool needs
to have when flushing the SSD ZIL to the pool? Consider a pool of 3x 2TB SATA
disks in RAIZ1, you would roughly have 80 IOPS. Any info about the relation
between ZIL pool performance? Or will the ZIL

There are different kinds of IOPS. The expensive ones are random
IOPS whereas sequential IOPS are much more efficient. The intention
of the SSD-based ZIL is to defer the physical write so that would-be
random IOPS can be converted to sequential scheduled IOPS like a
normal write. ZFS

Pedantically, as many as you can afford :-) The DDRdrive folks sell IOPS at
200 IOPS/$.

That is a simple performance model for small, random reads. The ZIL
is a write-only workload, so the model will not apply.
BTW, it is a Good Thing (tm) the small, random read model does not
apply to the ZIL.
