Hi, as Richard Elling wrote earlier: "For more background, low-cost SSDs intended for the boot market are perfect candidates. Take a X-25V @ 40GB and use 15-20 GB for root and the rest for an L2ARC. For small form factor machines or machines with max capacity of 8GB of RAM (a typical home system) this can make a pleasant improvement over a HDD-only implementation."
For the upcoming 2010.03 release and now testing with a b134. What is the most appropiate way to accomplish this? The caiman installer allows you to control the size of the partition on the boot disk but it doesn't allow you (at least I couldn't figure out how) to control the size of the slices. So you end with slice0 filling the entire partition. Now this leaves you with two options, create a second partition or start a complex process of backing up the root pool, reslicing the first partition, restore the root pool and pray that the system will boot again. I tried the first, knowing that multiple partitions isn't recommended. I couldn't get zfs to add the second partition as L2ARC. It simply said that it wasn't supported. Before I try the second option perhaps somebody can give some directions howto accomplish a shared rpool and l2arc on a (ss)disk.
