I have an extra 120 GB SSD laying around and I would like to set it up for ZIL and L2ARC, but want to clarify something first.
In my setup, I have two ZFS pools. They are:
Question: Does the ZIL and L2ARC work for the entire system or just one pool? If only one pool, which pool should I set this up on? I"m guessing rpool?
Second Question: I'm not heavy in parted or gdisk. Can someone give me some example commands to setup the two partitions I want? I found a few threads and references, but just want to be sure I do it right.
Thanks.
In my setup, I have two ZFS pools. They are:
- - 2x 480 GB SSDs in mirror (rpool) - Created during Proxmox install
- This pool has Proxmox and all containers/VMs on it
- Lots of disk activity since it has the host OS and all of the VMs/containers
- - 2x 8TB HGST Diskstars in mirror (datapool) - Created after install
- This pool is nothing but data (movies, music, and also Proxmox backups from this machine and another NUC I have running)
- Some disk activity. Mainly adding new movies and scheduled backups. Mainly large files.
