 +    * The ZIL's purpose is to protect you from data loss. It is necessary because the actual ZFS write cache, which is not the ZIL, is handled by system RAM, and RAM is volatile.
 +    * In default setup of ZFS, asynchronous writes are not handled by ZIL
     * The ZIL doesn't need to be very big. Find the transfer speed of the fastest disk in your array and multiple by 10s, this is about how big your ZIL should be.     * The ZIL doesn't need to be very big.
