I thought I should share the knowledge. ;) Which is not a bad thing ofr those (starting to) use ZFS. I do not read commits, but do read a lot of FreeBSD groups. And for me there is still a shroud of black art over ZFS. Just glad that my main fileserver doesn't crash.

I do have (read) this document, but still that doesn't really give you guidelines for tuning on FreeBSD. It is a fileserver without any serious other apps. I was using "auto-tuned", and that crashed my box. That is what started this whole thread. - --WjW -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMofVwAAoJEP4k4K6R6rBhFaUH/3wahrGWO71+xBhHi/ayNoaf DfbOWMD262XfualJudPRgoji7xb9lGaRmd4emv7QBcDjqzmcsiyIeXskT5IYKj7P DvJDULIH66iKQrRZeIBouMXMhLfiLjjT85Lj1hE8fuGg8NAOv97dnUwvVIwC0/Ai yzeeEHYivCYbRmzBhISlAWjdpSXk7xVs6gZnaLUUp953+Uv/8KmNLeG+laoWn+Hn wdKHUG3kR0g/XwJIMc5dZzYvs2kdDPh47uLythoYGC0yaLCwtxLHqEGIPtb/Gypy nIIWxOGtueJo2HjpS0+HlX/pTRW8tfYzXTzKgFKDd90t9fDt2p18BPSexuJSLVc= =hSAg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
