Can someone clarify the statement in FreeNAS documentation about losing data when removing a log device?
8.1.10.2. Removing a Log or Cache Device¶
Removing or replacing the log device will lose any data in the device which had not yet been written. This is typically the last few seconds of writes.
From what I understand, SLOG data is not used unless you need to recover from a power lose or a hard reset so you don't REALLY lose last few seconds of writes as FreeNAS suggests, do you? Seems silly to not be able to remove a SLOG without losing data, but want to make sure I understand what I'm reading.
