Nice overview. I added a separate ZIL sevice (SLOG) back in the day as back then writing the ZIL directly to the pool could fragment the pool. That has been changed somewhat recently, so now there's a dedicated area in the pool for the ZIL, thus it can no longer cause fragmentation.
Since I have primarily async workloads (fileshare) I was considering removing the SLOG but was curious what the impact might be. Seems the stuff in the article should give me tge details I've been looking for.
