First off I know this isn't ideal in any sense of the word, but right now I have 1 128gb ssd and 3 2tb hdds that I am trying to use in this ZFS box.
I looked around a bit and it sounds like it is possible to use a single drive as a ZIL and l2arc.

I have everything installed and running right now with the boot on the SSD(10gb partition), and the 3 2tb hdds in a zfs pool.
Right now I am looking for more information about how to make the 2 more partitions on that SSD and exposing them for a ZIL and l2arc. I looked at the format command and did some fdisking to create 2 more solaris2 partitions on that ssd, but I am not able to figure out how to expose those two partitions so I can attach them to the zpool as a ZIL and l2arc. Anyone have any recommendations?
