Hi folks,

I just upgraded a zfs server from 7.0-something to 7.2-stable and hoped to get rid of some minor instabilities I experienced every 6 months or so. Unfortunately, the new system crashed for the first time after only a few
hours when copying some files via scp onto it.
I got a kernel panic which looked quite similar to the one reported here
(kmem_map too small):

I have a dual cpu dual core opteron system with 4GB of RAM and a 3- disk raidz1. I took out the memory settings from loader.conf as suggested in UPDATING. I did not yet upgrade zpool nor zfs version (would that help?).
Are there any known issues or any further hints what might cause the
crash? I copied the files again, but this time everything went fine.
Hmm. Do you use i386 or amd64? This panic is (was?) pretty common on i386 before tuning, but... 4GB RAM and an Opteron should have you running amd64, no?
