I've been using a Samsung 840 Pro and want to upgrade to an Intel S3710. The only official documentation I can find on the process is: http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_storage.html#removing-a-log-or-cache-device which has a pretty ominous warning:
"If the pool is running ZFSv15, and a non-mirrored log device fails, is replaced, or removed, the pool is unrecoverable and the pool must be recreated and the data restored from a backup. For other ZFS versions, 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."
Can anyone comment on whether or not this is still accurate? Is there no way to do a clean unmount of an existing SLOG without potential data loss?
