Hey all. I have a system that I=E2=80=99m trying to do some intensive =
CPU and I/O on. FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE, amd64, 128GB RAM, hardware RAID1 =
OS volume, and a large (40TB) zpool where most of the I/O is happening.
Initially, it was failing for me because it was running out of swap =
space. It had only the normal small (4-8G) swap partition, so I resized =
the filesystems on the root disk and now have 400+GB swap. The system =
had frozen up and I wasn=E2=80=99t able to log in. When I go to the =
console, I find a long list of:
swap_pager: cannot allocate bio
lines. I was able to log into the console as root and pstat -s shows =
the swap minimally used (7.5GB used). Attempting a =E2=80=9Czpool =
status=E2=80=9D at that point locked up. I don=E2=80=99t know if the =
problem is the memory subsystem, or zfs.
But, based on the error, is there perhaps some kernel parameter I can =
tune that might prevent the swap pager from encountering that error?
