This article is what I think of every time I see a user say they need to
get a bigger ZIL vdev or slog in other terms. Ive seen people solely buy
a 200GB drive just for the purpose of a slog. This is a sheer waste. If
your going to buy drive or even use an existing one then partition that
drive with one partition of 512MB, which you will never get to the end
of, and then use the rest for a quick backup drive.
