zil_slog_limit specifies the maximum commit size to be written to the separate log device. Larger commits bypass the separate log device and go directly to the data devices. The optimal value for zil_slog_limit directly depends on the latency and throughput characteristics of both the separate log device and the data disks. Small synchronous writes are faster on low-latency separate log devices (e.g. SSDs) whereas large synchronous writes are faster on high-latency data disks (e.g. spindles) because of higher throughput, especially with a large array. The point is, the line between "small" and "large" synchronous writes in this scenario is heavily dependent on the hardware used. That's why it should be made configurable.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
