Stux, thanks so much for this guide about SLOG devices. I will configure a new Intel P3700 shortly and will stick to this guide closely. However, just to be sure, I would like to ask one question:
May I skip your chapter "Partitioning a PCIe NVMe SSD for Swap/SLOG and L2ARC", when P3700 is used as SLOG device only?
After OP of P3700 by using Intel Utility (I think I will reduce capacity to ~ 25 GByte), I would like to add P3700 as slog device to a zpool using the WebGUI Volume Manager of FreeNAS. Is it necessary to create any partitions using FreeNAS shell prior using the Volume Manager?
I guess the corresponding partition will be created automatically when the SLOG is added to the zpool when using volume manager?
Once again: thanks so much!
