Ok, on a machine running a database server (and nothing else), that might make sense. On a general purpose box it doesn't make much sense; I'd have to reboot the box in various ARC configurations depending on the workload / memory requirements. > What kind of disk is backing the pools? I'm my case (with running a single big memory hungy process and the ARC cache filled with lots of cached data) it's a simple zpool on one 100GB ATA HDD. > Might be some kind of array cache flushing > issues going on. Not in my case. This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
