For some reason 1/2 stuck in my head as the max, but I'll believe you. :-) > 1GB.

I'm not sure how much overhead virtualbox has, and you didn't say what else was running on the system at the time. Did you check how much memory the ARC and other applications were using during the install? You can find the size of the ARC with kstat by looking at the zfs module (kstat -m zfs). > use > 2GB of memory.

Again, what else was running, and what was the size of the ARC? -B -- Brandon High [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The good is the enemy of the best." - Nietzsche _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
