Hey Miles,
Do you have any idea if there is a way to backup a zvol in the manner you speak
of with bacula? Is DD a secure way to do this or are there better methods to do
this? Otherwise I will just use dd. Thanks again!
Thanks!

A question I have is, does zpool replace now work for slog devices as

It should also be noted that the Intel X25-M != the Intel X25-E. The
X25-E hasn't had any of the performance and fragmentation issues.
The X25-E is an SLC SSD, the X25-M is an MLC SSD, hence the more complex

compression algorithm isn't gzip, so you aren't
going to get the greatest compression possible, but it is quite fast.
Depending on the type of data, it may not compress well at all, leading
ZFS to store that data completely uncompressed.

All good info thanks. Still one thing doesn't quite

basically, what I'm thinking is:
zpool remove mypool list of devices/vdevs
Allow time for ZFS to vacate the vdev(s), and then light up the OK to

Are you sure thar write cache is back on after restart?
Yes, I've checked with format -e, on each drive.
When disabling the write cache with format, it also gives a warning
stating this is the case.
What I'm looking for is a faster way to do this than format -e -d disk
-f script, for all
but not
writes. If you enable them you will lose data if you pull the stick out
before all the data is written. This is the type of safety measure that
needs to be implemented in ZFS if it is to support the average user
instead of just the IT professionals.

, something makes its way into the write cache, then
the cache is disabled. Does this mean the write cache is flushed to disk
when the cache is disabled? If so, then I guess it's less critical when
it happens in the bootup process or if it's permanent...

The current solution we are considering is disabling the cache
