You can hardly have too much. At least 8 GB, maybe 16 would be good.The benefit will depend on your workload, but zfs and buffer cache will use it all if you have a big enough read working set.

I have 6 320 gig drives and 4 gig of RAM. If the formula is POOL_SIZE/250, this would mean that I need at least 6.4 gig of RAM. What role does RAM play with queuing and caching and other things which might impact overall disk performance? How much more RAM should I get? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss --
