In your case, vm.kmem_size being stuck at 2GB (despite you setting it larger) is the problem. A workaround would be for you to set vfs.zfs.arc_max to something smaller, such as 1G or 512M. Can you please provide output from the following 5 commands: uname -a sysctl vm.kmem_size_min vm.kmem_size_max vm.kmem_size vm.kmem_size_scale sysctl hw.physmem hw.usermem hw.realmem sysctl hw.machine_arch sysctl hw.pagesize hw.pagesizes hw.availpages Thanks. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
