#61 closed enhancement (fixed)

Allow for ZFS Log and Cache disks

Description

ZFS supports storing the ZFS intent log or a fast cache on separate (fast) disks for performance improvements.

For example, use a pair of SSDs as a mirrored log:
# zpool add tank log mirror da0 da1

For example, use another SSD as cache space:
# zpool add tank cache da2

It should be possible to configure this from the storage management GUI.
