A wild ass guess would be yes. Assuming you are referring to the NFS
client (and not FreeNAS server) and guessing that rsync uses mmap'd
I/O...
- The pages will be associated with the file's vnode until that vnode
is recycled. (mmap'd I/O can continue after the file is closed.)
This could take a long time.
I am not knowledgible w.r.t. the VM subsystem, but I'm guessing that
there is some way for these pages to be reused if memory is limited?
(Hopefully someone with VM knowledge can comment on this?)
Yes, this is the NFS Client, not sure on mmap(2), but that would make
sense
BUT, I don't like that it kills my ZFS ARC....
VM Guys?
BTW, a quick grep if the rsync sources shows it does NOT use mmap, but
has some mmap-like routines,
so I'm at a loss....
Adding in -CURRENT for the VM guys.....
