I have a dual xeon w 16G of ram and 16 drives that I=E2=80=99m using to =
play around with zfs.

I was running the 32 bit kernel and everything seemed to work ok. I =
upgraded to the amd 64 bit
kernel and I=E2=80=99m seeing the box hang under load. No error messages =
- it just goes catatonic.

I=E2=80=99m running the GENERIC kernel. Are there any recommended kernel =
settings I should be using?

Thanks,

Joe
