I bought two Vertex 2 SSD's (I compile a big software regularly, and thought
I'd speed up the process a bit).
First question: if I understand correctly, zfs (not ZIL!) is not the best
option for SSD's, because of copy-on-write. Am I right here?
Copy-on-write is totally a non-issue.
If you compile big software, then make sure that you have enough RAM
installed in your machine to cache it all. Zfs will cache both the
source files and the built product. My own experience is that with
enough RAM, the disk will remain mostly idle.
