You may want to make sure that vm.kmem_size is set to a value much
larger than vfs.zfs.arc_max. Default value may be too small to allow
such a large ARC.
On a side note, I'm not sure that ZFS is a good match for system with
only 1G of RAM. By trial and error on my box with 8G or memory I've
figured out that I need to set arc_max ~1G below physical memory size
to avoid lockups under load. YMMV.
ZFS on this box with 1G has been quite enjoyable actually. With the
settings I have posted I have not had any lockup on stable/7 and no sudden
freezes or waits for transfers. So this entirely thus far has been a
godsend. I had even put this thing through some of the tortures that
others have posted to the list and not come up with the same results but
better. There is obviously a lot of variables in this between hardware and
configurations used so the results are minimal in comparison. With ZFS in
place on this machine it performs a little bit under specs for the
hardware but I wouldn't expect anything less for such a file-system.
