2007/6/10, arb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello, I'm new to OpenSolaris and ZFS so my apologies if my questions are naive!
I've got solaris express (b52) and a zfs mirror, but this command locks up my
box within 5 seconds:
% cmp first_4GB_file second_4GB_file
It's not just these two 4GB files, any serious work in the filesystem (but I
suspect the larger the file the worse it gets) bring the box to its knees.
I've tried setting the maximum ARC size (seting c,p,c_max with mdb) but it
doesn't help. Any other suggestions?
If this is on a 32-bit machine, you may be running out of virtual
memory for the kernel. You can try this, and reboot:
eeprom kernelbase=0x50000000
This will limit your userspace processes to about 1Gb.
I would download a new DVD and do an upgrade from that.
