zfs and vfs.numvnodes

2009-10-16 Thread kickbsd kickbsd
Hi! I have a strange behavior on zfs filesystem. vfs.numvnodes tends to grow and when reach kern.maxvnodes no new files can be created or modified. System AMD64 8.0-RC1 FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 CVS from Oct 13 2009. I have increased kern.maxvnodes but vfs.numvnodes grows slowly. Any suggestions ? ___
