Your concern is justified; I don't think Maslan understands what it is you're describing. Yes, there is a 2GB limit for kmem_size. Yes, that limit applies to both i386 (with or without PAE) and amd64. Yes, it's a problem. And yes, it's absolutely a problem (especially when it comes to ZFS). > Since the server is on line now, we cannot re-install it to i386 to check > this. > We'll try it if we have spare machines.
