I'm running 12.0-ALPHA5 on a laptop which has 32GB RAM and 2GB swap. I've found it running out of memory when building ports via synth: I think I've also seen it when running a buildworld. Johannes on FreeBSDDesktop suggested it might be related to ZFS, and setting vfs.zfs.arc_max to 8GB *does* appear to have resolved the problem.
Shortly after running out of memory (with |"swap_pager_getswapspace(32): failed" messages)|, the first few lines of 'top' were: Mem: 4335M Active, 4854M Inact, 7751M Laundry, 9410M Wired, 48K Buf, 5332M Free ARC: 5235M Total, 4169M MFU, 497M MRU, 172K Anon, 97M Header, 471M Other 3479M Compressed, 5930M Uncompressed, 1.70:1 Ratio Swap: 2048M Total, 2009M Used, 39M Free, 98% Inuse I've not seen this happen before on ZFS systems, so is it a regression in 12? -- Rebecca Cran _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
