Needing a larger swap than the default I followed the steps at:
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Troubleshooting_Guide#ZFS_Swap_and_Dump_Devices
and at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/ggvlr?a=view
Namely:
zfs create -V 2G -b 4k rpool/swap (I've also tried just zfs create -V 2G
rpool/swap)
pfexec swap -a /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap
This works during the current session.
After a reboot this swap is no longer available.
pfexec swap -a /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap gives the following error message:
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap: No such file or directory
However it does exist:
rod...@opensolaris:~$ ls -la /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Oct 1 22:34 /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap
-> ../../../../devices/pseudo/z...@0:1c
I have to execute pfexec zfs destroy -r rpool/swap and start again after each
reboot.
It doesn't help adding an entry to /etc/vfstab.
A similar issues happens with rpool/dump.
I'm using the OSOL release (build 124 32 bit) following the /dev repo not SXCE.
I'm running a zfs root pool mirror in case that's relevant:
rod...@opensolaris:~$ zpool status -v
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c8t0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c8t0d0p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Is this a ZFS bug or am I missing something critical?
