I've FreeBSD with 8gb of ram and no swap for years. I'm currently on = 9.0 64-bit. I have 2 zfs pools:=20 one is a pair of 16gb thumb drives for / the other is 4x2tb + 2x500gb mirror for 10 or so mount points It runs with zero problems. In FreeBSD 8.x I had to set the arc max to = keep from memory starving other processes but 9.0 has been fine. 32-bit = was a disaster--I couldn't keep it from crashing. I'm not running dedup. -morgan On Oct 10, 2013, at 1:07 PM, John <freebsd-lists@potato.growveg.org> = wrote: > Hello list, >=20 > I'd like to have zfs on my freebsd desktop.
