Hi all,

I'm having a hard time to get FreeBSD-13 running on a Helios4. It's a quite=
 well equipped SBC with 2GB RAM and four SATA channels. I know the issues w=
ith ZFS on 32 bit platforms and fiddled already with the suggestions from h=
ttps://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide#i386. Still I just don't get it runn=
ing.

No matter what kmem_size or how small the ARC - it only extends the time ZF=
S works until the whole machine hangs. There are no OOM warnings or any err=
or messages at all. First the ZFS processes stop working while everything e=
lse still seems to respond, then no new processes can be started until ever=
ything just freezes. I tried 13/release and 13/stable - no difference.

I think the memory management was considerably changed with OpenZFS. So wha=
t of this old vm adjustment stuff is still relevant? What could be the next=
 debugging steps? Could anybody with insights lend me a hand?

Regards,

Soeren
