HI Sanjeev, Thank you very much! I'm not very familiar with using mdb. Is there anything to be aware of besides no active zpools?
Also, which takes precedence 3/4 of the memory or 1GB? Thank you in advance! Your help is greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Jason On 1/7/07, Sanjeev Bagewadi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Jason, There is no documented way of limiting the memory consumption. The ARC section of ZFS tries to adapt to the memory pressure of the system. However, in your case probably it is not quick enough I guess. One way of limiting the memory consumption would be limit the arc.c_max This (arc.c_max) is set to 3/4 of the memory available (or 1GB less than memory available). This is done when the ZFS is loaded (arc_init()). You should be able to change the value of arc.c_max through mdb and set it to the value you want. Exercise caution while setting it. Make sure you don't have active zpools during this operation. Thanks and regards, Sanjeev. Jason J. W. Williams wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a way to set a max memory utilization for ZFS?
