Jas, Most of those rules of thumbs are not valid. ZFS doesn't really need to keep data about metadata in ram. It keeps recently used and frequently used items in cache. There are some per disk caches but by default those are pretty small. I have a blog on a group that has a 350TB archive/backup system with 32GB ram. http://kateleyco.com/?p=815 Everything is dependent on use case. If you have many users all using the same file, frequently.. that will be cached. Sizing workload helps. linda On 1/13/15 4:52 AM, Albert Shih wrote: > Hi all, > > Basic question : How many amount of ram I need for running ZFS with a pool > of ~500-600To. > > For example If I've a server with 2 disk array of 60 disk of 6To. > > Is the rule I find somewhere on Internet saying for ZFS 1To --> 1Go is > still true ? > > What's happen If I use less ram ?
