SLOG for server migration? (alien.top)
 

I’m installing a new TrueNAS Core server with 8 bays. I have 6 disks of rust for the ZFS pool (3 2-disk mirror vdevs), 1 SSD for the OS, and 1 leftover SSD which long-term I intend to use as L2ARC.

My question is, for migrating my existing data (about 10TB) across the LAN (coming from a RAIDZ2 array), will it be much benefit to temporarily use that spare SSD as a SLOG? AFAIK SLOG is only useful for synchronous writes and since the new server won’t yet be in production there won’t be any contention for iops.

And does the answer change if I decide to use zfs send vs eg rsync?

“I understand sir, and I’m sorry to hear your WiFi is slow, I can absolutely help you with that. To get started, I’ll need your ticket number, 4-digit access PIN, and most recent math test.

Oh, I see here you earned a ‘C’, that only entitles you to 200Kbps down. If you are interested in our 1Mbps service we need proof of a ‘B’ - or if you would like to submit an ‘A’ we can offer our gold-tier 500Mbps service, and if you would like to take advantage of that offer during this marking period I can add in complementary 5ms ping SLA as well. Also your mother has told you three times to take the trash out, Anthony.”

That’s an underrated razor. Not the whole decision tree for me, but a huge part of it.

I did for years quite successfully. Ultimately blocklists did me in however - I don’t have the knowledge to resolve those timely and it became a headache I couldn’t tolerate at that time.
