Greetings All,
I have installed FreeBSD on ZFS using RAIDZ2. I have recently acquired an SSD (/dev/gpt/disk6) drive which I want to use for caching and for the intent logs.
My current configuration is:
Does anyone know if I can use the SSD drive for both caching and intent logs as in:
Is it also possible to move a mountpoint such as zroot/var/log to the new drive. Disks 0 to 5 are "green drives" and I want them to spin down when not in use by moving frequently accessed directories to the SSD.
Thanks all for your help and advice,

errors: No known data errors
Does anyone know if I can use the SSD drive for both caching and intent logs as in:
Code:
zpool add zroot log /dev/gpt/disk6
zpool add zroot cache /dev/gpt/disk6
Is it also possible to move a mountpoint such as zroot/var/log to the new drive. Disks 0 to 5 are "green drives" and I want them to spin down when not in use by moving frequently accessed directories to the SSD.
