I meant to type ZFS v13 for RELENG_8. Fingers focused on 8 for some reason... Heh. :-) I'm not going to go on a rant talking about the recurring scenario that keeps happening on the mailing lists -- you know, where Person X says "well, use these loader.conf variables and it's stable", yet Person Y comes back with evidence that it's NOT stable. Everyone's workloads are different, but the panic is the same every time: kmem exhaustion. i386 with KVA_PAGES or amd64 -- happens on both. It's highly dependent upon workload and what the filesystem consists of (many files vs. fewer files but larger in size, etc.) > > RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 both, more or less, behave the same way with > > regards to ZFS.
