My Solaris 11 install is getting a little long in the tooth and I still

Yeap, that was me. A travesty,
Nice. Just grabbed it and tried, but this poor thing doesn't have enough

Despite personally having moved off of 32-bit in the nineties, I agree
with Peter and would rather see 32-bit remain for now.

I've used swap plain partitions on zfs-rooted machines as well as
multi-disk zfs swap, both to good effect.
Even if secondary storage (SSD) can never be as fast as primary (RAM),
it'll should allow the job to proceed when the batch process peaks its
memory utilisation. Since it's batch processing
I really wanted to try it too, but rmustacci told me a week or so ago that
it's not even to the point of having the memory mapper done yet. I'd like
to pitch in if anyone else is motivated to work on it, but would need to
pair up to get immersed and rolling.

It's been a few years since I was hopeful about this, but if someone

I have near zero interest unless it's running on SPARC or ARM.
