So what's going on! Please help. I want my memory back!


This is essentially by design, due to the way that ZFS uses kernel
memory for caching and other stuff.

You can alleviate this somewhat by running a 64bit processor, which
has a significantly larger address space to play with.

Uhh. If I don't have any more physical memory, how does a 64bit processor help?

FWIW, this is on a SunBlade 2000 running in 64bit mode:
