Currently the sort structures in the sort utility use 32-bits counters. With Tb files, this may be the limitation point. I can take a look into fixing that.

It's quite an extreme case... :) Multi GB is also rare not speaking about multi TB... Yes. However my problem now is ZFS stability -- typically locking up, case example today: last pid: 67998; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 1+19:50:51 19:02:10 80 processes: 1 running, 79 sleeping CPU: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 146M Active, 2765M Inact, 35G Wired, 371M Buf, 86G Free ARC: 32G Total, 4141M MRU, 27G MFU, 55M Anon, 485M Header, 614M Other Swap: 233G Total, 233G Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 17517 root 17 42 4 217M 128M tx->tx 21 25.3H 0.00% pbzip2 17568 root 17 52 4 201M 116M tx->tx 24 25.2H 0.00% pbzip2 17508 root 17 46 4 201M 116M tx->tx 33 24.6H 0.00% pbzip2 17544 root 17 52 4 205M 120M tx->tx 37 24.6H 0.00% pbzip2 17532 root 17 52 4 209M 123M tx->tx 35 24.5H 0.00% pbzip2 etc.help
