That fit the context: cleaning out /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/

After the reboot I started a -J64 example. It has avoided the
early "witness exhausted". Again I ^C'd after about an hours
after the 2nd builder had started. So: again cleaning out
/usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/ Only seconds between:

# sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay
kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay: 276042

# sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay
kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay: 276427

# sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay
kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay: 277323

# sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay
kstat.zfs.misc.dmu_tx.dmu_tx_dirty_frees_delay: 278027

I have found a measure of progress: zfs list's USED
for /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m is decreasing. So
ztop's d/s was a good classification: deletes.

(Hopefully that will be a sufficiently useful start.)

> `zpool status`, `zpool get all` and `sysctl -a` would also not harm.

It is a very simple zpool configuration: one partition.
I only use it for bectl BE reasons, not the general
range of reasons for using zfs. I created the media with
my normal content, then checkpointed before doing the
git fetch to start to set up the experiment.

# zpool status
  pool: zamd64
 state: ONLINE
status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the =
pool.
	The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
	the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not =
support
	the features. See zpool-features(7) for details.
checkpoint: created Sun Sep  3 11:46:54 2023, consumes 2.17M
config:

	  gpt/amd64zfs  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

There was also a snapshot in place before I did the
checkpoint operation.

I deliberately did not use my typical openzfs-2.1-freebsd=20
for compatibility but used defaults when creating the pool:

/etc/sysctl.conf does have:

vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift=3D12
vfs.zfs.per_txg_dirty_frees_percent=3D5

The vfs.zfs.per_txg_dirty_frees_percent is from prior
Mateusz Guzik help, where after testing the change I
reported:

Result summary: Seems to have avoided the sustained periods
of low load average activity. Much better for the context.

But it was for a different machine (aarch64, 8 cores). But
it was for poudriere bulk use.

Turns out the default of 30 was causing sort of like
what is seen here: I could have presented some of the
information via the small load average figures here.

(Note: 5 is the old default, 30 is newer. Other contexts
have other problems with 5: no single right setting and
no automated configuration.)

Other than those 2 items, zfs is untuned (defaults).

sysctl -a is a lot more output (864930 Bytes) so I'll skip
it for now.

> PS: I may be wrong, but USB in "USB3 NVMe SSD storage" makes me =
shiver. Make sure there is no storage problems, like some huge delays, =
timeouts, etc, that can be seen, for example, as busy percents regularly =
spiking far above 100% in your `gstat -spod`.
>=20

The "gstat -spod" output showed (and shows): around 0.8ms/w to 3ms/w,
mostly at the lower end of the range. < 98%busy, no spikes to > 100%.
It is a previously unused Samsung PSSD T7 Touch.

I was not prepared to replace the content of a PCIe slot's media
or M.2 connection's media for the temporary purpose. No spare
supply for those so no simple swapping for those.
