Hi guys,
I could use some advice here.
One of my nasses has 32G RAM for only a 3x3TB z1 and a 4x2TB z2 pool ...
What happens is that zfs tends to consume all RAM (after doing some read write activity, after boot)
It seems to even grab memory from the VMs and swapping starts to occur, rendering certain VM activity extremely slow.
I've seen some info on tuning memory & arc size (also the FreeBSD tuning guide), but not a real straightforward way to 'cap' the memory used by ZFS.
I would assume that I should be able to limit it to 1GB per TB or something, no?
Does anyone have the same problem?
