Hello zfs question about memory.
I heard zfs is very ram hungry.
Service looking to run:
- nginx
- postgres
- php-fpm
- python
I have a machine with two quad core cpus but only 4 G Memory
I'm looking to buy more ram now.
What would be the recommend amount of memory for zfs across 6 drives on
this setup?
I believe I heard a calculation of 1GB cache per 1TB of disk. But
basically zfs will use all free ram available if you access that much
data from disk. You will want to set vfs.zfs.arc_max to allow enough
ram for your apps to work in.
If you consider the files for your website and the data you store you
may find that you would never fill more than 500MB of cache.
If you will be serving large media files that will easily use up the
cache you could give them their own filesystem that only caches
metadata - zfs set primarycache=metadata zroot/mediafiles
Thanks for all the replies Size of DB and HD's are:
Current DB Size = 23 GB
HD sizes = (6) 500 GB drives
