Hey guys,

Iam new to ZFS and have been playing around since few days. Iam trying to improve performance of a iSCSI storage backend by putting the ZIL/log on a SSD.

Below are the steps i followed

# format < /dev/null
Searching for disks...

The device does not support mode page 3 or page 4,
or the reported geometry info is invalid.
WARNING: Disk geometry is based on capacity data.

The current rpm value 0 is invalid, adjusting it to 3600
done

c8t3d0: configured with capacity of 465.74GB

errors: No known data errors

Now when i run dd and create a big file on /iftraid0/fs and watch `iostat -xnz 2` i dont see any stats for c8t4d0 nor does the write performance improves.

I have not formatted either c9t9d0 or c8t4d0. What am i missing ?

TIA
