Hi,

I like the new feature but I was thinking that maybe the keywords being used 
should be different?

Currently it is:

# zfs set logbias=latency {dataset}
# zfs set logbias=throughput {dataset}

Maybe it would be more clear this way:

# zfs set logdest=dedicated {dataset}
# zfs set logdest=pool {dataset}

or even intentlog={dedicated|pool} ?

IMHO it would better describe what the feature actually does.

I thought so too initially, then I changed my mind and I like it the way it is. The reason being is that describing the intent allows changing the implementation and keeping the meaning. It is the intent that matters to the administrator not the implementation.
