https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199189 --- Comment #15 from Marcus Reid <marcus@blazingdot.com> --- Just another anecdotal observation.. I've got a fresh -CURRENT machine that I set up with swap on a zvol and am able to get it to fail reliably. There's a git process that eats all ram and then goes about 1GB into swap (with 4GB available) and then swap just appears to stop working. A bunch of processes get stuck in a pfault state and the box becomes unusable and needs to be reset. The zvol is set up with compression, dedup, primarycache, sync all off. Something is definitely still very broken. My workaround in this case is to use a vnode-backed md device as a swap file, which is still not ideal but is stable enough until I can rebuild the machine with normal swap partitions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
