We are currently working on separate log devices such as disk and nvram.
This should help with both NFS and DB performance.
It also makes things "interest" from the zfs-crypto view point. It
means that it would allow a configuration where we don't do encryption
on the ZIL

Hello all,
Just my two cents on the issue. The Thumper is proving to be a
terrific database server in all aspects except latency. While the
latency is acceptable, being able to add some degree of battery-backed
write cache that ZFS could use would be phenomenal.
Best Regards,
Jason

Could this ability (separate ZIL device) coupled with an SSD give
something like a Thumper the write latency benefit of battery-backed
write cache?

I'm currently working on putting the ZFS intent log on separate devices
which could include seperate disks and nvram/solid state devices.
This would help any application using fsync/O_DSYNC - in particular
DB and NFS. From protoyping considerable peformanace improvements have
been seen.
Neil.
