zfs log cache

D

i build a pool with logs and when i copy data from client to server i see only
the cache being used and not the log.
when i copy from the server to the client the cache is used and not the log.

what the log and cache are used for? how to configure it.

i just added the to the pool
zpool add Data log ada5p1
zppol add Data cache adap2

do i need to tell the system to use it or it's automatic?

ada1p1 ONLINE 0 0 0
cache
ada1p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
 
Both are automatic. The cache stores frequently and recently used blocks of data. The log device is purely used to accelerate sync writes. You may not be making any sync writes.
 
thank's.
i created 100G partiton log and 100G partition cache on SSD drive.
when i copy files i see that the log write bandwith only 3M-4M and the same is the cache.
what does it mean? can i change that? for better performance?
