If this is true ... Suppose you shutdown a system, remove the ZIL device, and power back on again. What will happen? I'm informed that with current versions of solaris, you simply can't remove a zil device once it's added to a pool. (That's changed in recent versions of opensolaris) ... but in any system where removing the zil isn't allowed, what happens if the zil is removed?
If the ZIL device goes away then zfs might refuse to use the pool without user affirmation (due to potential loss of uncommitted transactions), but if the dedicated ZIL device is gone, zfs will use disks in the main pool for the ZIL.
This has been clarified before on the list by top zfs developers.
