Thanks Marion and richard, but I've run these tests with much larger data sets and have never had this kind of problem when no cache device was involved
In fact, if I remove the SSD cache device from my pool and run the tests, they seem to run with no issues (except for some reduced performance as I would expect) the same SSD disk works perfectly as a separate ZIL device, providing improved IO with synchronous writes on large test runs of > 100GBs ...
