Hiya! I've been thinking about trying out zfs for a while now. But as it is still kind of experimental I'm not sure if it'll be worth it. I'm currently running FBSD 7.0 i386 but if I go with zfs I'll probably reinstall to amd64. Anyhow, the box acts primarily as a fileserver/fw/router. It has only 1gb ram though, which seems to be the minimum according to things I've read. If rtorrent uses 900+mb ram, and zfs needs 1gb to run properly, what will happen? crash? Even if I got another gb of ram, would it work under heavy writing/reading? I would probably set up a /zfs for it and leave the root, usr, etc partitions to UFS2. http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.current/browse_thread/thread/436fa863a6be7f24/a245a67bc6423b62?lnk=raot Doesn't seem promising, I rarely hash stuff though. If it starts crashing I would have to. Would I be better of setting up some softraid or vinum? dmesg: http://pastebin.org/24780 Cheers, Daniel Andersson P.S. How do I reply?
