Unless I'm misremembering, the default blocksize for a zvol is 8k, and the recommended blocksize for a swap zvol on x86 is 4k, so I usually explicitly specify the blocksize when creating a swap zvol: zfs create -b 4k -V <size> pool/swap Also, in the past there was a bug that could result in a kernel wedge unless you tweaked the cache settings for a zvol in use for swap: zfs set primarycache=metadata pool/swap zfs set secondarycache=none pool/swap Possibly that has been fixed? But I don't think it hurts either way, so I still do it. _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
