https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D254721 crest@rlwinm.de changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |crest@rlwinm.de --- Comment #4 from crest@rlwinm.de --- The (long and) short of it is: writing to ZFS can require heap allocations making ZVOLs unsuitable as swap devices (swapping to normal files on ZFS mo= unts would be even worse). The only reliable solution is to use something simpler as swap space e.g. a gmirror+geli partition. I know this sucks if you have no space left on your disks. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
