I tried, but still no go (for my taste). The fragmentation is too high and very significant portion of memory is effectively lost to it. E.g. ARC may think that it uses only 1GB but another 1GB is used by free items in ZFS zones (of 4GB total). -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
