Made this a resource, as this has helped me a couple of times and is simple enough for inexperienced users to succeed. I'd like to add a step-by-step guide that help me to do that. I it found over at lawrencesystems.com I wanted to move jails from bluePool to ssdPool logged out from...

Two questions - 1) Does 'zfs receive' utilize the ZIL and therefor a SLOG if you have one? 2) I have several 16 drive (3.5") chassis that I've inherited that I'll be using for backups for VM hosts. I'll be using zfs send/rec to get the data there. Would I be better off having two 8 drive...
