ZFS Tune Module

[horsii]

Just looking over some of the issues coming up on the irc channel it seems alot of people are having issues with memory and zfs - the same issues that plauged certain users on version 0.7.

There was a module/extension made for 0.7.2 that allowed users to set their ram in the webui and certain other ZFS parameters.

At the moment users have to gain shell access, mount the root directory as read write, edit the loader.conf and hope for the best (until the next update when they have to repeat this).

If this was built into the webui it would make alot of users lives easier and make freenas more stable.

Cheers

I was thinking of something like this over the weekend. It should be simple for them to implement. Add another table of key value pairs as strings, and read from it in ix-loader to dump them into loader.conf. The table could initially be populated with the standard set of sysctl tunable variables and you could add your own.
