Hi all,

I have exchanged my Dell R610 in favor of a Sun Fire 4170 M2 which has 32 GB RAM installed. I am running Sol11Expr on this host and I use it to primarily serve Netatalk AFP shares. From day one, I have noticed that the amount of free RAM decereased and along with that decrease the overall performance of ZFS decreased as well.

Now, since I am still quite a Solaris newbie, I seem to cannot track where the heck all the memory has gone and why ZFS performs so poorly after an uptime of only 5 days. I can reboot Solaris, which I did for testing, and that would bring back the performance to reasonable levels, but otherwiese I am quite at my witts end. To give some numbers: the ZFS performance decreases down to 1/10th of the initial throughput, either read or write.

Anybody having some tips up their sleeves, where I should start looking for the missing memory?

Cheers,
budy
