While I'd seconded update info a month ago, I think it is no more inappropriate. Work is actively ongoing (if you follow -current) and now it's time to take out that old (or new) box and help debugging all possible scenarios on CURRENT before crying after the next kmap_too_small or panic. If I understand correctly, the issues arising with large de/allocations of memory in kernel space is a tricky buisiness which needs careful and thorough testing, tuning and thinking... Afaik, even solaris hasn't ironed out all the potential problems, e.g. if you read this article and the linked bugdatabase entries...: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide#Limiting_the_ARC_Cache So let's really rather help (if possible) with a -current install, or at least not take time with tedious requests :) Sincere regards to PJD and the whole development core team, as FreeBSD is really keeping up with the fast tech hype - but with style.
