It would be great if the storage api/module allows to create special, log and cache devices for ZFS pools.
It is all fine doing that by hand but since HDDs will be with us for quiet a while it would be useful to have that available to avoid human error.
Also the storage API should allow to select partitions and now only entire disks for and ZFS reason. An "advanced" box would be appropriate here that enables to also display partitions of internal disks.
When using e.g. high performance NVMes wasting the entire disk for a single purpose is overkill. Splitting it into partitions is a standard use case which is currently not officially supported.
So without allowing using partitions for special, log and cache adding those to the api/ui won't make much sense.
Thanks!

I am all fine configuring ZFS by hand but it could be faster if the api/ui would allow to assist us.
