Running ZFS stress tests on a system with only 768MB of memory is not a good idea since ZFS uses large amounts of memory for its cache.
VMstat is now jumping around between 493xxx and 527xxx fee while top is reporting a solid, unchanging "509M" "free swap" (Both at 1 second updates). The explanation would only explain a presentation of "swap memory" using the "virtual memory" definition being larger than a "free swap" definition that includes only swap. Here we have had it larger, and now it is smaller! For whatever it is worth, top continues to display a rock solid "509MB" free, never changing for "free swap". Anybody know? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
