In your blog it sounded like there's an in-RAM ZIL through which
_everything_ passes, and parts of this in-RAM ZIL are written to the
on-disk ZIL as needed. so maybe I was using the word ZIL wrongly in
my last post.
are you saying, lockfs will divert writes that would normally go
straight to the pool, to pass through the on-disk ZIL instead?
assuming any separate slog isn't destroyed while the power's off,
lockfs and sync should get you the same end result after an unclean
shutdown, right?
