Won't disabling ZIL minimize the chance of a consistent zfs- filesystem if - for some reason - the server did an unplanned reboot? ZIL in ZFS is only used to speed-up various workloads, it has nothing to do with file system consistency. ZFS is always consistent on disk no matter if you use

Don't take this numbers too seriously - those were only first tries to see where my port is and I was using OpenSolaris for comparsion, which has debugging turned on. Yeah, ZFS does a lot of extra work with debugging on (such as verifying checksums in the ARC), so always do serious performa

Or if you do want to use bfu because you really want to match your source code revisions up to a given day then you will need to build the ON consolidation yourself and you an the install the non debug bfu archives (note you will need to download the non debug closed bins to do that). The README
