If, instead of having ZFS manage these differences, a user simply created slices that were, say, 98% as big as the average number of sectors in a XXX GB drive... would ZFS enable write cache on that device or not? I thought I'd read that ZFS didn't use write cache on slices because it couldn't guarantee that the other slices were used in a write-cache-safe fashion, would that apply to cases where no other slices were allocated? -- Eric D.
