[zfs-discuss] limiting the ARC cache during early boot, without /etc/system

2009-08-05 Thread Matt Ingenthron
Hi, Other than modifying /etc/system, how can I keep the ARC cache low at boot time? Can I somehow create an SMF service and wire it in at a very low level to put a fence around ZFS memory usage before other services come up? I have a deployment scenario where I will have some reasonably large

2008-11-07 Thread Matt Ingenthron
Off the lists, someone suggested to me that the "Inconsistent filesystem" may be the boot archive and not the ZFS filesystem (though I still don't know what's wrong with booting b99). Regardless, I tried rebuilding the boot_archive with bootadm update-archive -vf and verified it by mounting it

One update to this, I tried a scrub. This found a number of errors on old snapshots (long story, I'd once done a zpool replace from an old disk with hardware errors to this disk). I destroyed the snapshots since they weren't needed. The snapshot I was trying to send did not have any errors.
